RE: Facebook denies calls to ban Holocaust deniers, and rightly so.

in #facebook6 years ago

It would seem that Facebook, YouTube and Apple agree with you and have banned him from their sites. Personally, I don't listen to anything he says. But, I doubt if they will draw the same line that you have and will stop there. We will surely be seeing more bans in the coming days, if it is allowed to stand. You might even be willing to expand your limit to include the next ones that they ban. The biggest question is, while you might agree with them today, is there any guarantee that you will agree with them tomorrow? The day after that? Are you sure that your ideas and theirs are perfectly aligned now and forever? Will you still agree with them if they decide that you should not be allowed to say something that you believe in? I don't condemn your beliefs, whether I agree with you or not. But, if we don't stand up for everyone, when we do stand up, we run the risk of being forced to sit down and shut up. Just my opinion. Feel free to differ... while you can.

You have raised very valid concerns , the same one I have had but you look at the Alex Jones's naked harassment affected families , it is a very difficult person to defend.

In the end , I may be acting based on emotion and your position may be the objective one.

The hardest things to tolerate are the things with which we most strongly disagree. I will say this... A "right" is a precious thing and must be defended by all that enjoy them. Rights can be taken away, if we allow it. If we don't stand up for him, who is going to stand for us if the time comes we are attacked in the same manner? Be well and stay free.

100 Agree% with this one...

Ah-ha! We've found our own little piece of common ground. Now, on to find other pieces and build up some real land holdings... LOL

I think we already had a lot of common ground...in any case , nice to meet you!!
