Did you read the part where they deleted some of Farrakhan's content? If Farrakhan reposts it using a different channel like Alex Jones did we will see if he gets banned like Jones.

Anywhere and everywhere there is bias. Human beings are biased. Every human being has opinions and preferences. When human beings make judgments, those judgments reflect to some degree their bias. The fact is that a ban on one of these websites isn't just the judgment of one person. People have complained to these companies. Different people at different levels have reviewed the complaints and the content in question. Jones was given notice that some of his posts violated the terms of service. THEN he tried to get around that, and that's when he was banned.

I fully agree but the issue today is people want the content they read to have the same bias they do.

That is the exact argument that was shot down during the civil rights acts, passage.

So....taking away more freedoms, still, since you want to add further business restrictions.

Didn't you say that inverse in regards to the Christian bakers who didn't want to bake wedding cakes for homosexuals?
