"...The rationale given by all these Big Tech behemoths is that Parler doesn't do enough to moderate the violent threats its users make on its platform. This is rich, coming from companies that host and circulate Facebook and Twitter, where violent threats proliferate on a daily basis. Twitter has even gone to court, on free speech grounds, to protect the use of its site for organizing protests..."

So Newsweek’s problem with the censorship is that it should have been broader.

The creation of terms like “hate speech” is the real crime. Speech is just words. This country is based on people being allowed to speak their minds. It has turned into a wussy thought crime regime second only to Hitler, if it is second at all.

When hate crimes were a added to the law, we were doomed. Hate crimes can only be used against whites. Nice work there government.

Each day reveals more enemies lined up against the 70 million Trump voters. Now we get to build a communication infrastructure. Big tech just accelerated their monopoly’s death.

Anything uttered by Islam is by definition Hate Speech.

If there is Islam on the site there is hate speech.
