Like it or not its free speech, I don't see why this shouldn't be allowed... You can talk shit about "white people" on twitter all day, but you can't say goy (unless you are a jew of course) and you can't say jews are fragile?

We need to go out in the sun more, we have all become so thin skinned.

Like it or not, a platform choosing not to relay it is free speech as much as the originator choosing to express it.

How is no-platforming even speech? I guess when china shuts down access to websites, they are just expressing their free speech as well?

When a handful of companies can hold power over what is allowed to be online and what is not, without a court ruling, its about time to regulate the hell out of the sector.
