We believe in free speech and giving a voice to the deplatformed, so while we could, we won't.

    If you don’t like it just ignore it. Just let all of them echo each other lol. I have to do that with X because I joined and I’m bombarded by lunatic shit because it forces me to follow Elon when I sign up. All these social media sites suck.

  You mean solely for the deplatformed, and not necessarily free speech for anyone else? Edit: I was banned for saying Ashley Babbit was committing a crime and that we should not have double standards where she is a martyr but George Floyd can’t be.

    I don't think our policy would have flagged that post on its own, let alone banned an account over it; if that happened it was an error.

  Why did you ban me then? Just like Free Speech Extremist all over again, can't actually live up to the claims you make.

  ISIS and Al Qaeda are deplatformed too. Will you carry their speech?

      So not free speech? Says you'll ban porn. Porn is free speech. Says you'll ban spam. Unwanted commercial solicitation is free speech. Says you'll ban incitement to violence and harassment. That is also free speech. All that "free speech" means is that the government can't take a priori action to prevent it from happening. But there can be consequences. All the popular platforms are free in that sense already. You will just have a boundary somewhere else for what you consider worthy of consequences. Which is fine. I don't actually believe anyone enjoys a completely unpoliced platform. But maybe don't be so quick in saying you'll give a voice to the deplatformed, when you're a platform yourself and will ban people too for not adhering to your own speech police.

        > consequences The Idi Amin school of civil rights: "There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech." If you want to know what freedom of speech actually means in the USA, you should read up on the topic, for example starting here: https://www.thefire.org/research-learn/unprotected-speech-synopsis https://www.thefire.org/research-learn/unprotected-speech-sy... Even if you hate FIRE for defending the civil rights of people you hate, the article is succinct and contains links to the ca ten most relevant high level court cases.
