You are the one who claimed “It is all just binary arranged into images and text.” That argument would allow any sort of child porn, violent porn, etc., especially the animated or Photoshopped varieties (”no children or adults were harmed in the making of this video”). It’s a bad argument.

True, we have no laws against swastikas or hate speech. (And I am firmly against hate speech laws.) That is why Jeremiah Wright and others like him are free to spew hatred for Jews in their churches. And why imams are allowed to spew hatred for infidels in their mosques.

If one of their followers commits violence against Jews or infidels, the preacher/imam and/or church/mosque are liable for incitement to violence lawsuits. Why should Musk take on that risk by allowing the lunatic ravings of an antisemitic nutter on his platform?

No it doesn’t...There just happens to be codified laws forbidding just a couple selective forms of binary images and text. There are no laws against any other forms of binary and they are protected by the 1st. Including adult porn whether we like it or not.

We start down this road and help open the door to this kind of capitulation to sensitive crybabies and soon images of Christian symbols and firearms will be next. If the tables were turned how then would you perceive it? Can’t have your cake and eat it too. I would be extremely hypocritical.

It either is free or it isn’t... Can’t have it both ways and be selective.
