People who believe in freedom of speech.

Does Twitter have no right to freedom of speech, when there are alternatives to it? If they don't want to be associated with white nationalists, then why should they allow themselves to be?
That's what I'm saying. They have rights to their platform, and we have the right to use it or not. That's why I linked to an alternative.
If the difference between Twitter's speech limits and Gab's is that the latter allows Nazis and harassment, I think you'll find most prefer "less" free speech.
Unfortunately, yes. Most people do not understand the importance of protecting even the speech they disagree with.
It appears many don't understand the difference between protecting and amplifying either. Alas.
