Nobody is required to provide you a platform for your speech.
If you want to nationalize the broadband infrastructure and force it to be leased out like we did with the POTS network, so be it, but be prepared to deal with the problems that come with that. And if not? Too damn bad big Internet companies don't like racists.
“Nostalgia was like a disease, one that crept in and stole the colour from the world and the time you lived in. Made for bitter people. Dangerous people, when they wanted back what never was.” -- Steven Erikson, The Crippled God
For people whose entire existence is to assume that Jews pays ever girl they ever met to prevent them to spread their pure Aryan seed, the users of GAB sure seems amazed with the concept that...
'' We scream like rats that Jews control everything and we cry that our Nazi-drivel ''SUPER-SEKRET UND KUNNING METTING PLACE'' lose backers (from that place that is so favorable to Neo-Nazis and so hostile to Jews known as ''Wall Street'' ) after someone shot Jews. I don't understand. We must commune with our holy prophet, Hitler''
''All right, mein Stubmanfhurer I'm going to the hardware store to buy Econo-class varnish for receiving His wisdom. The visions from above we receive from meth are not clear enough''
I linked my source and it's not "Wall Street movies or something".

There's an article here explaining fiduciary duty.
Even if this is hard to prove in court, we all know Paypal violated it. They put ideology before profit.
So this is either going to hurt paypal or it isn't? What is your argument then? That paypal should hold a vote of all shareholders before it makes any choice? If people aren't happy with the direction paypal is going, sell off and go somewhere else or try to buy in and get enough to be a significant portion of the share so your opinion matters.
I thought, people with that "condition" (I hate that word...) have to recieve Hormone Replacement Therapy regardless? No matter if identifying as male or female. Since, well, the lack of such hormones could sooner or later lead to osteoporosis and other health issuess?
Well let's put it this way.
There WAS a very large volume of cash going in and out of InfoWars and Paypal took a cut every transaction.
Now, it's not happening. It's hard to estimate, but I wouldn't be surprised if we're dealing with 6 figures MINIMUM.
But even a wilful 1 cent loss is a violation of fiduciary duty. Why the hell are we excusing this as "they can do whatever they want"? This is just typical lolbertarian nonsense and the far left suddenly pretending they want corporate freedom.
Depends on where you fall on the scale. My immediate male relatives are all "mild" cases. My brother has had to have fertility treatment (as I did), and even I wasn't completely immune to testosterone. Complete cases, like a few of my paternal side cousins, most definitely have to take HRT, though. They developed mostly as female physically.
And mainstream social media has one less competitor. Long live the monopoly.
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
When did I say a company is bound to do business with anyone?
Stop lying. I made my point very clear.
Also, there are no "other factors" because not one person in history ever quit Paypal or refused to register a Paypal account because Alex Jones was also using Paypal. You can talk about "other factors" all you want, some concepts are just blatantly ridiculous and you don't need to be the CEO to figure it out.
Free for all generally means free to troll.
Here's the thing I think people are exaggerating a bit regarding services like Gab: if there is a systematic effort to silence them, it's not necessarily a political or coordinated one. It's a "protect ourselves from the bullshit they're spreading, which violates certain rules and standards we have set and might open us up to liability."
Alt-righters see this as an attack on their free speech. They see this as censorship. And they see this as totalitarianism. But if this were a politically motivated attack, it seems strange that they're only targeting trolls here. Many of those "totalitarian" platforms are run by decidedly conservative executives. If their actions were politically motivated and if anyone were in danger of being silenced for their political views, it's the left. Likewise, if their actions were politically motivated in an obvious way, they'd be opening themselves up to litigation, because there's absolutely no way it wouldn't be a class actionable offense.
To put it another way, if these efforts to silence a group were targeted at any other significant group other than trolls, this would actually be a big deal and you can bet your ass these platforms would see legal repercussions for it.
People shouting "CENSORSHIP!!!!!" are idiots. This isn't censorship. This is "stop abusing our platform."
