If people only said nice and agreeable things there would be no need for the first amendment.
- s73ver 10y agoThere is a Grand Canyon sized difference between "disagreement" and out and out racism. So once again, what is the cultural value of calling an African American actress an ape?
- djrogers 10y agoThere needn't be any cultural value in the content of the speech - who claimed otherwise?
- michaelmrose 10y agoIn an environment where law, custom, or technical challenges makes it difficult to silence dissent you can speak out against popular injustice as well as voice unpopular racist opinions.

- warlox 10y agoWhy should Twitter be coerced into publishing racist tripe?
- jquery 10y agoWhy should AT&T be coerced into allowing racist phone calls? Why should ISPs be coerced into hosting racist web sites or allowing racists to download racist content? The distinction between telecom infrastructure and Twitter/FB/Google is becoming less and less clear by the year.
- warlox 10y agoYour analogy is absurd. Social networks are nothing like telecom at all. It's more like GoDaddy or NameCheap refusing to host stormfront.
- jquery 10y agoIf GoDaddy was the only DNS provider, would you feel the same way? At what point does the government need to step in and say the Constitution applies here?
