Irregardless its funny to hear people who love censorship and discrimination as long as its done by a "Private" business whatever that means, I am sure we will be seeing the overturning of the civil rights act of 1964 and "private" business owners having the right to choose who they serve and discriminate
LOL...you do realize that you just invented a new "protected class" in your argument right?
Homeopaths.
So basically, what you just did was declare their views as so critically astute and important that they should be compared with blacks, women and others that needed federal protection so that people would let them eat lunch at their business, hire them...that sort of thing.
So, that means you've elevated THOSE views above any other views that might differ.
Yet you then complain about censorship and discrimination of views after trying to make the views you like protected and supported under federal law.
P.S. Censorship doesn't apply to public business and no, rubbing a healing crystal or iguana droppings on that sick burn I just laid on you won't really help. Well actually, it will help the people that sold it to you.
I told you about the Twitter and Facebook censorship plots orchestrated by groups like Media Matters and the social media giants. Also, Youtube is censoring conservative videos, especially PragerU videos. That Pinterest is now censoring people does not surprise me.
This conversation is going to an interesting place. Let's be clear, Pinterest may be privately owned - as newspapers and every other media are - but they source from nearly every 'public' blog and web page on the Internet. Furthermore, 100 percent of their revenue comes from this public domain and they have a vast influence on their users which number in the millions.
As I may have mentioned earlier, all of my Pinterest boards are private - all of the info I gather is strictly for my own use. I have no reason to post the articles in question for your debate and scrutiny. In summary, one article discusses a large study performed in the Netherlands which analyzed the effectiveness of mammograms in saving lives from breast cancer. The second article (which I pinned months ago and is suddenly locked) discusses the early history of the Polio vaccination. Both of these articles used viable, published research.
These topics are, of course, controversial within the mainstream medical industrial complex and, therefore, those who question the status quo are considered suspect. However, last I heard, we're still living in a free country. BTW, I have many other alternative/holistic articles on my Pinterest board that have remained open. This one website has caught their attention for some reason.
This is only the tip of the ice burg and with the end of net neutrality, there's surely much more to come.

Lastly, whether you care for my subject matter is not the issue. This is only the tip of the ice burg and when it comes your way - which it will - you'll be singing a different tune.

You are making that up, I never mentioned homeopathic medicine and neither did the op in the original post. I took a guess it might be vaccines the op was talking about but I didnt know, it was never mentioned
The question is what and who are "protected classes" and why does the court discriminate in their favor over other groups?
If people are so in favor of businesses being able to discriminate than why arent we overturning the greatest gift to statism in the 20th century in the US , the 1964 civil rights act?
Title 2 of the civil rights act outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin in hotels, motels, restaurants, theaters, and all other public accommodations. So basically the government is dictating exactly what businesses must do and who they must serve?
These fake libertarians in silicon valley have no problem screaming censorship and "keep the internet free" during the whole sopa/pipa days when it might cost them money with helping piracy, yet now are censoring the internet of stuff they consider right wing or controversial.
Twitter just banned amren and jared taylor, a 66 year old yale graduate and a guy with an MA from Paris, a former editor of PC magazine for being a "white supremacist" and associating with violent gangs. Lol
Youtube banning videos left and right for right wing political content
Media matters tried to censor breitbart and it now one of the most popular web sites in the united states
Its funny how the censors always seem to fail

not surprising to see all the libs in here saying their site their rules even though thats completely hypocritical of the stance they took about the baker refusing to make the cake for the gay wedding, isn't that his store his rules?

No, of course they would tell the customer wanting the cake to form their own bakery.lol
Sexual orientation is not a "protected class" under the civil rights act, yet.

It's the same stance I took.
