Spot on, about Drudge.
He crossed over to their dark side MONTHS ago.
I wonder how many pieces of silver they paid him :(
Feel free to pull for the quisling.
I look at it like this: if a leftist comes here and spouts things the owner doesn’t like, are you going to burn your FR card in protest of the leftist not being allowed to speak here?
Apples and oranges.
No wonder you’re having such a hard time understanding the issue.
Have a good day.
Explain then.
They exist, they just don't have the audience or they are completely demonized, like Gab.ai. They've made Gab out to be some kind of Nazi site and it's not really very different than FR when it comes to politics.
Minds is another one, sorta youtube/sorta twitter, just not very big.
In a nutshell Facebook, Twitter and others are ‘censoring’ viewpoints they don’t agree with.
They have the power to make Drudge, and many others, to disappear from the internet.
Not all that different than what some of the other posters up-thread, who don’t have that power, would like to do.
Very dangerous in a country where free expression and exchange of ideas power the country.
Yes, they do have that power in some sense.
They can block him from their platforms.
But not from his own website.
And yet you and others here cheer them on.
Of course no one cheers them on.
I’m just not confused about whoever owning the platform making the rules.
Drudge is only being hoisted in his own petard.
Personally, I’m all for the free exchange of ideas. You can say anything you want to me.
