Doxxing forgoes freedom of speech and discourse and escalates the situation

It opens the door for counterdoxxing and before you know it, who is acceptable to dox and why are lowered and everyone who disagrees with each other is subject to having their life ruined

It is a slippery slope

This is what happens when freedom of speech isn't protected, when you are disallowing debating the Nazis in the marketplace of ideas, you are openly inviting the only alternative: the war of threats and violence

important bump and very relevant to thread topic

I think it's just a thing now for economic superpower companies to ban Alex Jones at this point, because literally nothing good can come from keeping it around other than attempting to vouch for freedom of speech whilst having the one kid in the back of the room scream obscure and hateful things.

freedom of speech more like freedom to peddle snake oil bullshit

LOL @ anyone who thinks the dude has an actual message beyond selling useless shit

Freedom of Speech that is incitement to violence isn't protected here, and largely isn't protected in the United States, and yet the wheels of society manage to turn.

same but with profanity too
I think I said this in TGB recently but

"I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it" doesn't seem quite right to me.
I don't wanna die for the KKK's right to be the KKK (please ignore that this is the right to assembly and not the freedom of speech)

I'm with Aquellex though

The idea that corporations have the power to take away people's rights (to speak in this case) parallel to but outside of the judgment system is disgusting.

Also silencing them only stops them from saying shit.
But if you won't actually talk to them (and ideally change their mind in your case), they will continue wanting to say said shit.
You won't be fixing the actual shit problem, just piling it up and putting it where you can't see it.

me neither, but in a nicer world where all they hurled at colored folks were words, i wouldn't be fighting against their right to exist either

alex jones isn't comparable to the kkk

i don't think anyone was speaking to the value of alex jones's message. posting this makes me question your reading comprehension abilities

[Aquellex]

sorry guys but I wasn't being sincere, I just stole those words from a deleted Glink video

I mean, nowadays they aren't really doing much from what little I understand.
Ain't what they used to be.
But I get what you're saying.

I do think words are pretty strong though.

but whose fault is it when someone becomes violent based on what they hear?

rebecca black received death threats after releasing friday, and that music video was innocuous af

the fact that words can incite violence reflects negatively on our culture but not on those who are speaking

[Ksl33zy24]

Funny thing about this thread topic... Four (4) people in here are banned. lmao (You know what, lmao may have been a bit too much.)
