This highlights the current vacuum for a truly free speech promoting social media service.
Some young entrepreneur should create one, sans restrictive oppressive anti-free speech attitudes.
You know you're winning when the opposition tries to outright silence you. I think they call that "not having any good points to refute an argument with"
Not withstanding the fact that Jones is a bit of a nut job at times, his right to free speech/expression/press is just as unalienable as our own

There are certainly a variety of decent pro/con arguments, but I would love such a service. One caveat, of course, is that users would be able to block other users they feel are trolling or saturating the medium with garbage info
I never used FaceBook or Twitter or any of those, but I would be interested in patronizing/supporting a pro-free speech platform (even financially, through an accredited crowd funding platform)
Historically, one of the most incriminating indictments of the labor spy business may have been the testimony of Albert Balanow (some sources list the name as Ballin or Blanow) during an investigation of the detective agencies' roles during the Red Scare. Albert Balanow had worked with both the Burns Detective Agency and the Thiel Detective Agency. Balanow testified that the Red Scare was all about shaking down businessmen for protection money. "If there is no conspiracy, you've got to make a conspiracy in order to hold your job.
Exactly, I remember clearly those SEIU thugs going to Tea party rallies and randomly beating up people there.

What do you expect from the party of "My right to not be offended is greater than your 1'st Amendment right, unless you get offended from being stalked and harassed while eating out, then my 1'st Amendment right is greater than your right to be offended." Or something like that. The Democratic party holds nothing for anyone anymore. The far left have taken it over and that is why a lot of us have left it. The Republican party isn't much better though.
WTF are you even talking about? Try coming out to a union construction site and spew that crap.

We don't have a democracy and tribalism won't sink the republic. It's specifically built to withstand tribalism.

Krauts? I'll give you a hint, Murican: guilt by association.
You can whine about T&C violations with sites vanishing from Fckbook, Twatter or Gööble all day long. But that doesn't change that fact, that you could still fetch your daily fix of Brainforce BS on infowars.com.
Which means, that most of you outragers don't even know what censorship means. BTW, how is your "Potect & Serve" act working out so far?

Funny how the Democrats always want to "solve" things by banning something or otherwise dampening individual freedom. From the Democrats in the 60's who opposed the Civil Rights Act to their attempts to ban free speech, firearms, borders, immigration enforcement and more, they have positioned themselves against the cause of freedom at every turn

Block them and they will create another account.
Pay for posting? That could work but who would pay for something that you can do for free?! Would it be free speech if you had to pay to exercise it?!
The biggest challenge with the internet, In my humble opinion, is that everyone can post whatever crap anonymously without any consequences. Would you post what you are posting now if your real name appeared instead of your nickname?
