I have a neighbor who has a "Queers Hate Techies" sticker on his car. I don't like it, but I don't want him banned from YouTube or Twitter or wherever he's saying crazy stuff.

If you had a sticker saying the exact opposite - would you expect to get banned?

There’s this strange thing that often happens online, where it is implied that the people who promote tolerance don’t do so in an equitable fashion.

You’ll be surprised, then, when the answer to your question is “yes”.

I’d want Westboro Baptist Church to be able to have a YouTube channel. Cloudflare still does TLS termination and DDoS protection for their website https://godhatesfags.com so it doesn’t seem totally out of the question.

A generic statement like that is "fine" in my opinion.

But it would become a problem if it turned into violent action or the statements would be more targeted and specific.

(and I give a 50% chance of that person with the sticker being a techie themselves)
