Free speech is the right for everyone to express themselves, including right-wing and left wing extremists. It interesting to see how many of the "privately-owned platforms can do as they please" people suddenly change their mind when the shoe is on the other foot.

- dementiapatent 4y agoYou can find a happy middle ground between unrestricted free speech (of real people) and banning spammers and people who run alt accounts. Making the system invite-only may be a requirement.
- iinnPP 4y agoI would argue the simplest answer is transparent moderation. If needed, split a team of moderators by political association and have each moderator handle the users of the "opposite" side. Otherwise you end up getting shadow banned for reporting an actual call to violence which then took place.

- bradreaves2 4y ago"Privately-owned platforms [that] do as they please" but call themselves “free speech” are dishonest. This isn’t partisan hypocrisy — it’s applying an objective standard to a bad-faith argument.
- watwut 4y agoYour comment is completely irrelevant to what I wrote. I did not said it should be illegal to create right wing discussion forum. I said that it is not free speech platform.
