Totally agree with Twitter’s decision here and the right wing outrage mob needs to learn the same lesson that the left wing outrage mob does: the answer to “hateful” speech is not no-platforming. It’s MORE speech. Right wing folks who are mad over double standards is ok though.https://twitter.com/getongab/status/1052655447910436864 …

And trust us, there are MANY people on the right who think like this, including MANY of the big “influencers.” “Ya I’ll join Gab if you just ban all the mean words about Jews and Christians. Oh and also I totally support free speech!”

These people are the absolute worst. Grifting off of conservatives and folks who actually believe in free speech and individual liberty, while demanding censorship of ANY criticism about jews/christians behind the scenes. Very dishonest!

Free speech means you can offend, criticize, and make memes about any race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Sick and tired of the double standards for “acceptable speech” and “protected classes” on both the left and the right. Free speech for ALL about ALL.

Let us say this again: being mad over double standards is acceptable. We know this better than anyone and call it out frequently, but please don’t doubt that there are “influencers” who you all look up to that demand censorship of mean words about certain groups behind the scenes

Most on the right only call for suspension to highlight the hypocrisy of Twitter!

Words cannot hurt you. There are natural consequences for words, which is why most people learn to control their speech when they’re children.

Words are irrelevant. Don’t believe me? How many politicians have you voted for that actually do what they said they would do? 1 in a million? Everybody lies. I learned that when I found out there wasn’t a Santa Clause. Grow up. Actions matter, not words.

Personally I think they need to just be a content provider and let laws that actually violate them do it.

I don't want him censored. Better to see ignorance with when you see it in open daylight. The problem is Twitter IS censoring certain people. So if they decide to go that route you gotta be consistent and censor all and have well defined policy of what violates their terms.

Not sure this approach is going to 'grow' http://Gab.com . Seems to be a form of 'reverse psychology' which will yield an empty sack.
