    Many conservative groups who don't actively take part in "hate speech" themselves to save face and protect their public image with moderates, have been known to give funding to groups that openly call for violence and terrorism. The same is true for liberals as well.

    Money is speech according to SCOTUS, so funding those groups is agreeing with those groups. If you fund groups who call for domestic terrorism, you are a supporter of domestic terrorism, even if you do not want to admit it. .

    Content that advocates violence is illegal. Funding violent groups is illegal.

    That kind of stuff is for the law to deal with. I don't see why private companies should mess with that, they're not in a place to decide if such people broke the law or not.

    Can you list one person convicted of this offence? Can you show me what law they are breaking?

    I never said that they broke a law. But an IPS shouldn't be required to allow people who support things like terrorism to use their services.

    A Christian group who gives fundings to groups who commit or openly call for abortion clinics bombings should have no more proections than a Muslim group who gives funding to groups who call for Jihads.

    I agree. But ISPs should be required to set up rules equal and fair to everyone.

    That's not necessaily true. There is more than one far right group which openly praises abortion clinic bombings as "God's work", and who call the terrorists who commit such acts "heros" who are not charged with any crime.

    It is still a free country, though on the path toward religious fascism. The way to alter that course is not by using the government’s gun to demand others be forced to ”listen to me”, but by creating your own platform to express your ideas and thoughts. If you need the government’s gun to enforce your viewpoint, than it's not reason or liberty that you are fighting for; it’s faith and force.

    The OP is referring things like IPS companies refusing to sell internet access to groups which their owners disagree with politically. Free and unbias access to the internet should be a matter of free speech.

    Well, then maybe liberals should stop trying to censor Milo and Alex Jones for disagreeing with them, and get started on putting the people who publicly support mass murderers in jail, huh?

    Disagee. As I do with all laws that violate property rights. Just as in my house, or my business, or my car, your right to free speech is limited by my right to tell you, ”shut the hell up, and get out”.

    Be it a media platform, a social network, or an ISP, your rights to free speech end at my door.

    And I have reporte Breitbart, gatewaypundit and infowars for being anti liberal

    Oh! And I definitely sobbed in that old TWONK Rupert for running a TV network so right wing that it is a wonder he does not disappear up his own backside like the Oozlum bird.

    I understand that Liberals will do everything they can to silence their opposition.

    I hope no Conservative will buy into self-defeating ideology of supporting Liberals "property rights". If they are right they can make a case in court. I hope no Conservatives will help them.

    My opinion is unimportant -- I am a low profile Cyber citizen.

    I am just trying to warn Conservatives against buying into self-defeating ideology of supporting Liberal Media Giant's "right" to censor them.

    The government can’t do any such thing. Companies can Suites’s and censor any speech they see fit. There is nothing the government can do about it, and it is appalling that the right is clamoring for them to do so. The very idea is unamerican.

    I know that Liberals will do anything they can to enforce their censorship on Internet.

    I hope no Conservative falls for the self-destructive ideology of supporting Liberals' "right" to censor them.

    If that is so, Liberals have nothing to worry about.

    We do not know yet.

    The only thing I can say is that Conservatives should support The President if he tries to Make Online Speech Free Again.

    Why do you think making up an argument, and attributing it to liberals is a proper response to you being corrected on what government can do about private companies censorship? Lol

    So is it that you have no idea what free speech actually is? Or are you intentionally saying the wrong thing?

    Yes, we absolutely know that. The government has no authority regarding speech on a privately owned platform.

    So you are going on record in support of an unconstitutional abuse of power by the president, that has no hope whatsoever of accomplishing what you want, as the government has no authority or power to regulate speech on a privately owned platform? Lol
