I've ask this question for yrs. There has to be more behind this than we know.
First, new visitors would always be pounced upon by the "Gabstapo," who turned every issue toward what they call "The Jewish Question."
Second, and worse, these 100s of muted Nazis, out of site, inhabited their own freak show basement, where they spun one another up, until Robert Bowers said, "Screw the optics, I'm going in." Gab finally purged most of these idiots after Pittsburgh....so much for absolute free speech. Seriously, these guys had screen names like "HitlerWasRight" and "RaceWarNow." Their avatars were swastikas and SS symbols.
Since the Pittsburgh Purge, most of these guys are back with new names, but minus the Swastikas. And they still pollute every thread with "The Jewish Question," only now minus the Zyklon-B memes.
At Freezoxee.com, the decision was taken to not be free speech purists. Propaganda for 3 known totalitarian ideologies is not permitted: no pushing Islamism, Communism, or National Socialism. The policy is right out front, on top. A private website is like a private bakery. Just as a private baker should not be forced to bale a swastika cake for Hitler's birthday, a private website can exclude history's proven rabd dogs.
You don't invite a convicted pedophile to be the clown at a toddler party, and you don't invite Nazis or Communists to lecture your kids in your own home out of a sense of "fairness to all ideas."
Islamist, Nazi and Communist ideas, when successful, always lead to the end of freedom and finally to mass-murder and genocide. Freezoxee.com does not feel an obligation to give Nazis a platform to try again to gain power. We know what they do with power. They kill freedom and murder their opponents.
Free speech absolutism is insane in a private space. The 1st Amd says that Commies, Nazis and Islamists are free to promote their ideologies in public, or on their own private sites. It does NOT mean they have the right to enter a private space to spread their propaganda.
FWIW, I’ve been in for several days now. Mainly waiting for it to reach critical mass (a little nuclear-physics lingo for you). So why not give it a look-see FReepers?
Liberal bullies will tear it down as they did Gab.AI.
The prejudiced Big Tech will downgrade it in search results and throttle its ads.
Eventually, liberals will attack the site by saying they’re guilty of blasphemy - hate speech. That could lead to governments blocking it in their country like the EU or the web host threatened legally until it has to move.
That’s aside from the risk payment processors will cripple it, like Mastercard refusing to do business with JihadWatch and others saying “stop funding conservatives on your platform or we’ll stop processing payment”. The choking off of payment processing killed Freestartr, for example.
You are fortunate. I’ve been shadow banned forever. If I tweet, maybe five of my 4,000 plus followers see it.
If Trump gets on this and leaves Twitter, it will crush those leftist dishonest scumbags, and that is appealing.
I stopped tweeting about 4 years ago. I figured out I was being shadow banned - before I knew the term.
Justice Scalia pointed out that 1A does not say, “freedom of speech,” it says "the freedom of speech.” And he went on to explain that freedom of speech was not initiated by the First Amendment, but preexisted it with limitations accepted at the time - laws prohibited libel and slander, and pornography.So the freedom of speech was not absolute freedom.
