On the contrary, we should support Twitter more after their recent laudable efforts in banning neo-Nazi accounts. There is no freedom to spout hate speech on someone else's platform.

That's pretty funny considering that Twitter verified Muslim Brotherhood's offical account... which is a terrorist organization.

Exactly. They get to choose what's on their platform, and we get to choose whether to use it.

Expecting a tolerant person to be blindly tolerant (of anything) is an adolescent argument. Tolerance is not a binary state, and has never meant a binary state.

I'm not sure it's "neo-nazi sympathisers" as much as "oblivious young white male libertarians who don't realise the bubble they live in." Admittedly they do tend to sound the same when it comes to "censorship" but I think the distinction helps.

Talk about proving his point... or is this sarcasm?
