"Free speech on the internet" is not something found in law.
> The canary in the coalmine was The Daily Stormer
Because The Daily Stormer was just a site to share ideas, right?
> The Daily Stormer, which has established 31 physical chapters in the United States and more in Canada
> Some of its readers do more than issue threats. Dylann Roof, who massacred nine African Americans in Charleston in 2015, posted on the site. Thomas Mair, the neo-Nazi assassin who last year killed Jo Cox, a British member of Parliament, was a regular reader. And just last month, another Daily Stormer reader, James Jackson, was charged with murder and terrorism after carrying out a plan to go to New York City to kill a black man at random.
How ever will the Nazis share their hateful and violent ideas without the private internet companies? Oh no, the poor racists!
> One message included an image of Gersh being sprayed with a green gas, along with the words: Hickory dickory dock, the kike ran up the clock. The clock struck three and the Internet Nazis trolls gassed the rest of them.
