I doubt trump does whatever his dorky son in law says. Though he probably does listen to his advice and since gab has some bad press attached to it maybe Trump just doesn’t want to have to deal with it. Only “free speech” platform you’re going to have people who post offensive stuff...that’s the point of free speech

Yep - Trump knows what makes for good and bad optics. While folks have rights to free speech, a whole lot don't know how to properly exercise that right - and T. doesn't need to go wading through a manure-filled kiddie pool.

I agree with you. The platform must have a block feature so that people can filter out those who refuse to discipline themselves.

None of our “rights” are worth a hoot of we fail to utilize decency and self control. Is there a place for offensive speech? Absolutely. Most especially when seeking to abuseive control.

But if a platform is going to allow hatred towatd Jews, then hateful and offensive speech needs to be allowed toward ALL other groups which also includes the “n” word and any other epithet for groups of people.
