what happens when paypal deplatforms something you agree with? this is a bad take imo I don't think paypal is gonna deplatform people speaking for women's rights, trans rights, etc anytime soon so I'm not worried --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

You don't seem to understand what free speech actually is. It's the right to say shit without being arrested, facing government repercussion.

Gab bums me out. It could have been a legit social media competitor but quickly became an alt-right shithole that is a bigger circle jerk for crazies than resetera. That said, I think it's a pretty shitty and dangerous move to allow and celebrate corporations banning an entire website because of one poster.

s0nicfan posted...FursonaNonGrata posted...s0nicfan posted...Wasn't the general response to Alex Jones getting banned from everything "they should make their own platform since they love the free market so much"? The attack was terrible, I wish it didn't happen, and I in no way defend the views of these hateful people who are using gab as a platform to say terrible things. That's not what this is about. If you are assigning any sort of blame to the social media platform for this attack, then you have to be prepared to assign blame to any platform that this person has ever posted on. Given the frequent volume of shootings, for example, it shouldn't be hard to make the case that Facebook should no longer receive funding because they allow gun advocacy groups, or Twitter or Reddit should be defunded because of what they allow too. I'm not defending what happened, and I'm not saying the platform is good. I'm saying that before we decide we are one hundred percent cool with how and why Gab is going down, we need to make sure that the standards we're setting are ones that we are comfortable applying in every instance. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

So these gab loonies are just blatant trolls? That wrecks your entire argument. According to you, banning them will make them angrier and more violent. Also, according to you, they are just trolling. If they are just trolling, they don't believe the shit they say, so they won't get angry and violent. See the contradiction there? Do you want to have your cake or do you want to eat it?

People are lazy and anger is short lived if allowed to dissipate. Letting angry people shout hate into the ether so they can let off steam isn't going to actually hurt anyone. You realize the guy who shot up a synagogue yesterday used Gab, right? --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm saying that before we decide we are one hundred percent cool with how and why Gab is going down, we need to make sure that the standards we're setting are ones that we are comfortable applying in every instance. Nah, everything in society doesn't have to be uniform. But the way you guys argue how everything needs to be an "all or nothing" type scenario just makes me laugh. I'm perfectly fine with these motherfuckers being deplatformed. Ideally they would also be investigated and monitored by proper authorities before they become more radicalized and snap. They can go have their shitty little racist circle jerk on the same servers that host TDS. And I'm not worried at all about things I like being banned. After all, I'm just a "NPC normie cuck sheep who follows the MSM script", and I have a hard time believing stuff like that will ever be considered vile enough to censor. So I'll sleep fine watching places like Gab and Voat get shut down. In fact, I'll likely sleep better knowing so. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLH8skGXKw4 WHOOP WHOOP ... Copied to Clipboard!

Forcing them to bottle it up can though. You really think an Echo chamber of angry racism will allow them to calm down?
