Our Commitment to Fighting Hate Speech [DISQUS]

Disqus Blog ^ | Feb. 8, 2017 | Disqus

[Repeal 16-17]

When Liberals say “hate speech” they mean “Conservative viewpoints.” Disqus is engaging in censorship.

...people are EAGER to see Breitbart's commenting system restricted because they consider it "hate speech."

OK...I have to let this sink in...I use DISQUS to comment on a number of sites because I don't do Facebook or other similar sites; no problem. I try to use it on Breitbart and it tells me that the site has blocked me from commenting, and that I should contact them with any complaints. Breitbart has not responded to a number of requests from me to be told what offense I committed. I did not post any differently on Breitbart than I do here or anywhere else. Any one else have this problem, or an idea of how I so greatly offended?

Hate speech, formerly known as ‘free speech.’

TRUTH- It's the new HATE SPEECH.

You’re right. This is all just feel-good fluff from Disqus. The prevailing sentiment by blog owners/administrators who commented on the piece is if they (Disqus) unilaterally interferes with or attempts to moderate content, the owners will yank their chain instead - this I find encouraging.

I know what a drag it must be to be a moderator - especially on open sites (unlike FreeRepublic). They could use tools to help them do their jobs. They don’t need Disqus intruding.

We should all be debating the merits of economic and philosophical ideas.

But both left and right stoop to ad hominem all too often.

When the left doesn’t like the ad hominem or the debate on the merits or the humor of Milo, the Left plays the victim card to shut down the offender. The left repeatedly notifies the moderator of being offended.

Conservatives try to play the victim card, victims of the media, etc. But Conservatives are not skilled at how to play the victim card and kick ass. It takes professional victims to win as victims.

This is the society we live in.

That facebook page now has hundreds of friends, almost all of which are from Africa.

Were they all Nigerian princes who just needed you to forward a few hundred dollars so they could pay the banking expenses to share a million dollar windfall with you?

Lots of black young men and women with lots of selfies. And very proud of their stuff, even though it is very third world. I used google translate to determine that most of their posts are in Swahili.
