It is your opinion that ISIS shouldn't have been "deplatformed"?

Did you know it is a crime in the US to provide services to terrorists?

18 U.S. Code § 2339A - Providing material support to terrorists

It comes down to what you favor more: free speech or property rights. Property rights? Then clearly any company can remove any content for any reason it sees fit.

If you favor free speech I would say plotting to kill the Vice President of the United States and ISIS recruitment aren't meaningfully different.

You understand that freedom of speech doesn't mean that private companies have to host or publish your speech, right? AWS is not Congress. They have no obligation to you, and you have no right to free speech on their platform.

>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

You cannot have free speech without property rights. It's an extension of it.

Who are terrorists? Foreigners the US government doesn't like? Who are domestic terrorists? Citizens the ruling faction doesn't like? Founding fathers must have been a bunch of terrorists.

As was "Daily Stormer" getting kicked off of Cloudflare.

Or 4chan kicking off Gamergate.

Which are probably better examples to discuss.

Really dude? ISIS?

I think there would be a 99.9% consensus that such activity should be deplatformed. In fact, I think even the perpretators would say that they shouldn't be allowed to do it.

Except here we stand arguing that ISIS deplatforming = Good, Trying to kill the VP of the US deplatforming = Bad. I argue they're not meaningfully different. IF you support one but not the other you're not ideologically consistent.

Maybe if you have a deontological position with the rule you mentioned, there are many other possibilities.

Ummm. So you're here to say there should have been outrage when ISIS was deplatformed? After the capitol situation I guess I can see the resemblance between ISIS and right wing American extremism.

Weird hill to die on, but you do you man.
