Liberals believe free speech is only for people they approve. ????? And yes, … they are serious.
“In January, the Southern Poverty Law Center published a report that explained that, though Epik, a website that publishes websites that have been removed by it’s host. Epik began as a nondescript web host. It recently updated its mission to be a “protector of free speech,” which has meant grabbing a long list of new far-right clients. The “free speech social network” Gab, YouTube-like video sharing site Bitchute, and Alex Jones’s InfoWars are all users of Epik.
“As a registrar, Epik plays an important role in the online infrastructure necessary to keep far right extremists online, including those that advocate violence,” Joshua Fisher-Birch, of the nonprofit Counter Extremism Project, told Motherboard in an email.
Fisher-Birch said he wasn’t surprised to learn Radio Wehrwolf turned to Epik or that the web registrar has ongoing connections to far-right content. And while mainstream web hosts or Silicon Valley giants like Facebook have taken well publicized actions against the far right, more obscure companies like Epik have filled the gaps for banned sites to find a home online.
The Left is outraged that free speech is still considered important by other people. “This is potentially dangerous because it enables the further dissemination of extremist rhetoric and propaganda, including the promotion of violence, even after a site has been dropped by other companies,” someone named Fisher-Birch said. “While Epik portrays this as a noble exercise in anti-censorship, they’re making a business decision to continue to amplify voices calling for violence.”
That shows how un-successful de-platforming websites can actually be. And it shows why free speech is needed. People need to be able to read and listen to others so ideas can be reviewed and judged. Sanitizing speech is the way dictators and terrorists work. the founders of America knew that so they enshrined freedon of speech in the founding documents of America. The Left hates that.. Good.. We like to hear from them so we can get an idea of how to battle against their warped and wrong ideas.
For example… “The communists and the Nazis are merely two variants of the same evil notion: collectivism. But both should be free to speak—evil ideas are dangerous only by default of men advocating better ideas.” Thank you Ayn Rand who also wrote: “The difference between an exchange of ideas and an exchange of blows is self-evident. The line of demarcation between freedom of speech and freedom of action is established by the ban on the initiation of physical force.” Ban violence and fighting, not speech.. “in the transition to statism, every infringement of human rights has begun with the suppression of a given right’s least attractive practitioners. In this case, the disgusting nature of the offenders makes it a good test of one’s loyalty to a principle.” the Left doesn’t accept freedom. They want control. Lets make sure they lose.
