Okay, I now did some reading on the Internet about why Gab is being shut down. They deserve it as they have been post extremist hate and violence. I am a bit surprised to see FReepers defending the likes of Bowers, cheering the site for hosting him. It didn’t take a lot of searching and reading to see that Gab has a history of this and only threats of being shutdown have gotten them to clean up their act. We all, well a lot of us, criticize Facebook and Twitter for what they allow, yet here some FReepers defend it for someone else? Is violence against Jews okay? That’s a very, very big change for FR.
The police state isn’t the answer.
The Constitution starting with the First Amendment works a lot better.
OK after that I am now in agreement with the other person who thinks you are a leftist troll.
I know few to no conservatives who have the kind of point of view that you are expressing here, which is Stalinist in character.
It seems many people here were confusing Gab as a conservative website. Simply because they were big freedom of speech defenders.
While freedom of speech is a conservative ideal, Jew hatred and pornography are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum.
Hey, if FR is your safe space, then don’t visit free speech sites like gab. What is so hard to understand about that? If they can do this to gab, then FR isn’t far behind.
Complete BS. Violence is forbidden and has not been tolerated since August on Gab. Free speech is which is a wonderful thing.
Why don’t you head off to DU with your crap. Since you sound just like one of them.
Consider the possibility that you are being played with by leftists. They flood the zone with obnoxious hate so that fools will respond with outrage and demand the very censorship they are seeking
The price of allowing Freedom of Speech, is allowing speech which you despise.
Keep in mind that, to those on the Left, FreeRepublic is a source of "extremist hate and violence". What do you think a Leftist thinks of how we react to black-on-white violence?
For me, my only bright line is actual, credible incitement to actual violence. "XXX are a stain on humanity and deserve to all be killed" does not qualify as such. Only things like "I saw XXX eating at (YYY location), lets go over and beat them up" qualify.
