So it begins.
Free Speech
07/04/1776 to 10-29-2018
Why is it that Facebook and Twitter are not shut down when Mass murderers are found to have pages on those sites ?
in Newspeak, “Free Speech = Racist Friendly”
Wonderful.
We can stop this, you know.
It’s just capitalism at work. The constitution is silent on oppression of free speech.

“@GoDaddy is threatening to suspend our domain (which is worth six figures) if we do not transfer to a new provider by tomorrow.”
My landlord is threatening to throw me out if I don’t leave right now
GoDaddy is the worst. I’ve been saying this for years. They sell your information to EVERYONE ON THE BROWN PLANET to call you. People who keep chickens in their bedroom and poop in the streets are given computers, phones and then told to call you. By the hundreds.
GoDaddy encapsulates all that is wrong with the internet.
These are the things from which civil wars arise....so sad.
Go to www.spreely.com “Speak Freely” No filtering as far as I can tell!
In before “Muh private corporation” and “conservatives should just make their own internets.”
Refuse to use PayPal.
Any service that insists, either write a check or take a walk.
OK, I’ll go ahead and say it: FR would be getting kicked offline too if we let NeoNazis run amok and spew their evil antisemitic hate porn. And if FR had opened pandora’s box to NeoNazis, then I assure you many of us would have been out of here pretty quickly.
I won’t tolerate NeoNazi antisemitism or racism in people and I have no patience or tolerance for those that do.
BTW, if you haven’t been to Gab, it looks like they have no objections to porn being posted on their site, as long as it’s in the porn categories.
It is very unfortunate that the big social media sites are trying to prevent any discourse on issues by conservatives, Trump folks, and other non-brainwashed people who are trying to help shape the direction America is heading.
If you want a site similar to Twitter, Face Book, etc., try https://friends.freezoxee.com/ They appear to be having some growing pains with occassional downtime, but I’m watching and waiting and giving them a chance.
Does Free Speech include Hate Speech? Does Free Speech include anger and rage? This is mental illness on display.
“First they came for Gab...”
Gab is a very important twitter alternative, not filtered by liberal cabal. If they can shut it down, they will be emboldened to control all speech on the internet. Don’t let them
Well, now that Gab has gone offline I suppose that
means that the next one won’t be able to go ranting
about his intentions online, and is therefore much
less likely to be caught.

Absolute free speech is a tough one.
It includes letting people shout "FIRE" in a crowded theater.
If you're going to try to establish a free speech site you do need some basic rules.
Explicit and legitimate threats of violence should not be allowed. If you're going to allow porn it has to be explicitly stated photos must be of 18 year olds and over.
I never used GAB so I don't know what their policies are.
When you say, 'free speech' there are always going to be people who want to push, exploit, and test the limits whether they're legitimate advocates of free speech or agent provocateur who seek to post the most extreme ideas to force the website to be shut down. It's often difficult to know the difference between the two.
While I'm not going to use words like n*gg*r or k*ke or sp*c the site needs to make it clear how far they're willing to go.
Unrestricted, absolute, free speech will bring out the crazies, extremists, provocateurs, and pranksters.
I sometimes toy with the idea of creating a free speech site but I have never acted on it because I know there are people who will go over the edge to see if I really believe in free speech.
Free speech sites attract different kinds of people. Those who believe they have the natural born right as a free person to say anything about anything. Crazy, angry, and unstable people. Provocateurs who post the most obnoxious and extreme ideas to delegitimatize the site. Pranksters.
If there are to be rules and limits, the first should be banning any legitimate threats of violence. If you propose, advocate, or incite other to violence there should be a warning and a time out. It should be a 3 strikes you're out rule with an appeal process.
I detest the idea of censoring words like 'the n-word' if someone else says it and you're quoting them. You didn't say it. You're just reporting what someone else said.
If you're going to establish a 'free speech' site you need to think it through carefully and plan for ANY AND EVERY contingency because SOMEONE is going to test your limits and they can be either friends of free speech or foes.

I am betting that “his posting” on the site was contrived by the same people that actually planned the fake bombs.

Why would the internet be any different than the rest of the leftist infesred media, Sanctuary Cities,Hollywood or anywhere you find lawyers,and or perverts,working over time to subvert the USC and ROL?
C’mon people. Don’t just scream free speech and condemn. If you were a regular over there then you know it became a cesspool of HATE speech against Jews. You could block people, but the next time you opened Gab there was another one. And this “free speech” discussed killing and murder. For me, that takes MY concept of free speech over the line. I don’t need that crap in my computer screen and I chose to leave it behind. (It makes you realize what a fine line Jim Robinson has to walk and how well he does it.)
Racist friendly? That’s the same thing FRs detractors say about us, without bothering to read the responses to truly racist comments appearing here. I’m sure a number of such comments disappear before we see them, but the few remaining generally are rejected by most of us.
The Chiefio pondered the solution to counter censoring the internet, found much of the ground work already done.

They said they did this on purpose.Since most people have no idea who they are I don’t understand why.
