The only thing somebody has to do today to become a "white supremacist who spews Pepe memes and vile anti-Semitism" AND a "neo-Nazi" is vote for Trump. So, more than 51% of the country right there very much care.

The first is indisputable. The left pushed free speech as a liberal value for decades (at least) specifically to get rid of blasphemy and obscenity laws. The second: are you suggesting twitter regularly purges right wing figures, including

Have you considered that you're on the wrong side of this one? Twitter has been mass banning right wing figures for over two years now, including Republican candidates for Congress. It hasn't made the platform any better. If anyth

Your perspective is not even close to being the legal reality yet. Companies that provide a public service are considered to be a public utility and are thus subject to certain federal laws including freedom of speech. There are two cases i

There's a huge, gigantic, gaping chasm between a hospital patient with no history of mental illness with two parents, neither of which have a history of mental illness, and a schizophrenic homeless person. Saying one has anything to do

It's unconscionable to suggest that hospitals be allowed to legally kidnap people because of something as hand wavy as 'some homeless are mentally ill'.
