The Heaven’s Gate cultists have been spreading dangerous misinformation for 20 years? They MUST be deplatformed! Why on earth do Google, Facebook, Hacker News, their web hosting and DNS providers allow their dangerous messages to be spread? /s
- pessimizer 5y agoThe US constitution guarantees special protection for purely irrational beliefs. Once a belief starts to vaguely makes sense or to make an honest attempt to make sense, it loses its protection.
- TexanFeller 5y agoWell we’re in luck because, as has been pointed out many times in recent years, the private organizations I mentioned are not bound by the first amendment!
- FabHK 5y agoOn a non-sarcastic note, it could well be that this and similar cults are banned on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, which is perfectly fine. They still have their own website.
- superkuh 5y agoIf heavensgate happened again today their hosting provider would definitely "shun" them.
