    They should just ban the Nazis and be done with it.
    Sure.

    They can go ahead and do that. Then they can ban President Triump fans, and those who have conservative views, and anyone who doesnt go along with the Leftist hivemind..becaiuse of course the best way to deal with people who have opposing views is to silence them.

    That works.

    No, it doesnt.

    This would be like me giving out name tags to people and then taking them back when I get complaints.

    That's not a good thing.

    Conservatives are not the same as Nazis. Right wingers need to stop equating the two. True conservatives should stop defending the crazy far right.

    Ben Shapiro is a conservative. I vehemently disagree with him. He should not be banned. Baked Alaska is a Nazi. He should be banned.

    OKay, Twitter can do this stuff all they like. All they will do is drive people to places like Gab, where their posts will be "I am here because Twitter decided to silence what I said because it didnt fit their political bias".

    And they will be correct.

    Believe it or not the internet is not the USA and there is more than one standard of free speech. Which I guess is why we just default to "private company, make your own standards, suffer the consequences and reap the rewards".

    Let's just say that presenting yourself there as a white christian male, with a political leaning to the right is like signing up as a black guy on Stormfront. It's ok to post ISIS propaganda though. Those are left for a long time but gotta crack down those nazi armadas that will take over us any day from now.

    That seems a bit odd considering every major politician seems to have a twitter these days. Could you provide some examples of white christian males being harassed for just being slightly right leaning?

    Yeah and Trump's account was deleted for a short time. That sounds like very egalitarian to me.

    Gab, a place that practically nobody has ever heard of. Alexa rank 17000. Twitter is ranked 12.

    At least their logo is wisely chosen.

    What does that have to do with "white christian males with a slight right leaning being harassed"? Someone trolled the president by deleting his account before they left the company, it doesn't really add into the grand conspiracy you seem to be on about.

    And you go ''Never saw it therefore didn't happen''. See I can do it too. And lol at troll. I bet there would be a different response if he deleted Hillary's account.

    Oh, I would say the internet is the USA now in many respects. I have no stats, but so much public discourse (if you can call it that) happens in comment sections and social media now.

    I strongly think we ought to aim higher than defaulting to private companies and standards. We are already seeing where that leads: safe spaces and echo chambers. Where no one has to hear arguments they don't like, and ignorance and hate of "the others" can grow unchecked.

    "Hate speech" is a thin line from "speech I disagree with". Its definition must be kept narrow.

    I still don't see the giant conspiracy at hand like you do, please help cause I'm genuinely curious if twitter has become this giant anti-right wing area because the most I've seen is banning people who actually do hate speech.

    If Hillary were president and someone deleted her twitter, I would laugh as well. Mostly because people are so upset over 11 minutes without the presidents twitter.

    If its about endorsing or not endorsing people, then pretty much anybody will be unverified. I mean, what are the standards and are they just up to the personal whim of whoever runs Twitter.

    On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

    I think the issue is that people like Shapiro oftentimes do get smeared as White Supremacists, though - despite them not actually holding any such views.

    Hate speech these days means disagreeing with people of left leaning. ie. ''I don't think Trump is that bad.'' Good potential for doxxing right there. Also you throw conspiracy around as if I'm a tinfoil hat loon so I can see your stance on my perspective. So much for tolerance lol
