Patreon emails Sargon to ask for evidence to prove it wasn't hate speech .
So, they are asking for PROOF of what he said was NOT hate speech, instead of seeking proof from the accuser that it was??
Welcome to Soviet America folks, it is not that far off now.
Been meaning to watch this. Sounds awful capricious to me.
This is a private company, which doesn't have police, a military or a praetorian like governments. Hence lots of bad things can happen to them.
i.e. - They might get thrashed by congress, sued, bankrupted, have limbs and jaws broken by people who get close to them... all kinds of stuff like that.
Proving a negative?
During the Trump election, Milo was very effective with a segment of the eligible voters that the left never anticipated would be at risk of free thinking. They HATE him and want to silence him forever.
While not a proponent of the acts of people like Milo being public fodder, I think he is worth promoting for just the reason that he has a powerful message.

Can't help with Sargon. Try "History."

If this has a financial value of greater than $20 then the 7th amendment might just come into play. Is violation of Constitutional rights still a thing in this country?
Typical tactical the left. Make an accusation and then demand you prove it isn’t true. Knowing that logically you cannot prove a negative. And everybody keeps falling for that. Somebody needs to demand that they prove the positive.
Patreon going political was a surprise. They facilitate payments to YouTube and other creators, many of which need to be heard.
The SJWs are also going after PayPal to institute censorship and PayPal is giving in.
That leaves the credit card companies mainly Visa and MasterCard. They havent given in yet, but probably will.
After that, its the banks. We can still mail checks, but cumbersome payments reduce the creators ability to earn.
