Funny thing is with these "free speech" advocates, allowing hate speech (antisemitism, racism, sexism, etc.) on your platform is anything but politically neutral. It's obviously capitulating to hateful groups like white supremacists/neonazis.

- vorpalhex 5y agoWell good thing no bad person has ever posted on Facebook.. or Twitter.. or Instagram.. or written a manifesto and sent it via USPS. Facebook has literally been used to livestream rape and murder! And your own source says Gab turned everything over to the FBI. What, exactly, is the fault here? Them not having a time machine?

- francis-io 5y agoOf course it's politically neutral. Inaction is neutral.
- joomooru 5y agoSorry, political neutrality doesn't exist. Inaction in the face of injustice, means you are advocating for the status quo. E.g. the white moderate from Letter from Birmingham Jail.

- monocasa 5y agoOnce again, the goal isn't to be politically neutral.
