Where does it end?

Facebook is moving to ban the Proud Boys, a far-right men's organization with ties to white supremacist groups. Facebook confirmed the decision to ban the Proud Boys from Facebook and Instagram to TechCrunch, indicating that the group (and presumably its leader Gavin McInnes) now meet the company's definition of a hate organization or figure. "Our team continues to study trends in organized hate and hate speech and works with.

And by "ties to white supremacists groups", we mean "probably, because a lot of them are white".

Of course they have to lie and claim they are part of "white supremacist groups", which simply isn't true.

Hell, Tiny, one of their lead organizers is a Samoan, for Christ sake. And they have black members, along with some Hispanics and Asians.

What a crock.

I've never been on Gab. Do tell what kind of hate speech is there.


You do know that even hate speech is free speech. Anyone can say they hate anything. It's when a person acts on it and infringes upon the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of another person, that it becomes a crime.

Yes it's filth, but hate speech is not a crime. You can't control thought either.

Can we stop with the far right moniker? It plays right into what they want.

Anyone still using Facebook is beyond help.

This is bull shite.

It's also exactly what Gavin wants. The fact that people are upset over the fricking proud boys is amazing.

Agreed. These aren’t the people we want to affiliate with. May agree with a lot of what they say but the perceived aliiance with these over the top groups damages the progress that 2016 was all about.

Fight the ban from a freedom of speech standpoint but don’t be seen aligning with them, there’s better ways to advance the cause. Definitely light the fire under twitters feet for the ban, but if a lib group were to be stand up for them too.

Just did a search on FB and more Antifa groups than I care to count showed up. How is this explained?

Facebook...where provocative speech is banned but data mining and abetting the surveillance state is business as usual.

Yes,

And here's an excerpt from their website

quote:

The Proud Boys confuse the media because the group is anti-SJW without being alt-right. “Western chauvinist” includes all races, religions, and sexual preferences.



What kind of white supremacists allow "all races, all religions" into their club?


It's a dangerous game frickerburg is playing
