WTF is Abbott babbling about? Gab is a social media platform with far less censorship than Twitter. It allows people to say what they want - the essence of free speech is the ability to say things that offend. Free speech is not needed to say inoffensive things that everyone agrees with. If you don’t like what someone says, use your free speech rights to rebut them, argue with them, show them why they’re stupid. Don’t try to keep them from speaking like a fascist. Abbott is a censoring moron, no better than the left-wing book burners.

Fmr head of the ADL Abe Foxman, of all people once said the worst thing to do with "hate speech" is to censor it. The BEST way to deal with it is to CHALLENGE it with MORE speech.
