A YouTube/google equivalent

A Facebook equivalent
Nazism is a right wing philosophy. I know you righties want yo push it to the left but you can't. The whole world knows better.

Private companies get to decide what their tools and resources are being used for.

I thought you guys were against government meddling in such matters.
They are until it's something that affects THEM.

There are many, many more conservative viewpoints represented there.

Also, there are other places to go on the Internet if Facebook isn't your bag. Some are totally devoid of terms and conditions.

What "hate speech"?

Who gets to decide what constitutes "hate speech"?

To some people, the opinions expressed by many on the Left against Tim Tebow for kneeling in a quick prayer after a touch down were hate speech.

But the same folks who were condemning Tim Tebow will defend the players kneeling during the anthem as protected "free speech".

Seems like y'all want to have your cake and eat it too.

So that's the litmus test for being a Nazi these days? Wearing a mask? I don't think so. Anyway, you're free to call people whatever you like but as long as you know the truth we're good.

But he's right. Case in point: The recent silencing of Alex Jones. This is America ...we value free speech. Whether we agree with that speech or not, it's important that those voices are heard and not silenced by organizations like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and other platforms.

Censorship is not American. When these social media giants allow only one point of view, they disrespect one of our most precious values, one that has been upheld and fought over in court, for one hundred years by the ACLU, even if the ACLU didn't agree with that speech. They stood for the right to speak it.

Donald Trump is not the first to express concern about this trend, and it was the focus of a recent segment on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

Listen here: Tucker Carlson Tonight

No problem with "Conservative viewpoint."

He violated the hate speech policy.

Conservative viewpoint is not hate speech.



We're not talking about just Jones here.

Exactly

“Hate speech” doesn’t exist


Only in the minds of the loony left
