Yeah, this appears to be a case of not knowing what the heck he is talking about. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and plenty of other sites have volumes more antisemitism and racism; it’s just better hidden given the volumes of users and those sites have “policies” however poorly enforced. Gab is a refuge for people disgruntled by or removed from other platforms. It may have a higher proportion of “off-color” remarks and even real racism relative to the size of the user base, but that comes with more freedom of speech and thought.

Bad ideas are destroyed by the market of ideas. Suppression and censorship only drives bad ideas into a black market.

Not so sure. Sometimes, bad ideas win in the marketplace of ideas, then go on to destroy the market.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer the marketplace of ideas.

But evil humans sure know how to use that to their advantage. Some have the skill to talk free people right out of their birthright.
