nestor Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) What is everyone's opinion on the Daily Stormer being forced into the darkweb over the last week, corporate crackdown on free speech or businesses exercising their right to do business with who they please? Edit: Here's the article that got the Stormer taken down, https://web.archive.org/web/20170813181100/https://www.dailystormer.com/heather-heyer-woman-killed-in-road-rage-incident-was-a-fat-childless-32-year-old-slut/ Edited August 23, 2017 by nestor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterRosie Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 In the country that I live in, which is Not-America, there is a difference codified in law between "free speech" and "hate speech." Where I live, Daily Stormer is hate speech. And so, yes it deserves to be sent into the darkwebs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt07 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States says merely that the government cannot impede freedom of speech. It does not apply to private entities. So businesses are within their rights to restrict any kind of speech they find offensive. I honestly do not know what the Daily Stormer is. I've never seen it or visited its site. Offhand it sounds like some kind of a neo-Nazi website, but I don't know that to be a fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterRosie Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It is a common misconception that the American first amendment applies to anything or anyone that isn't Government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt07 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Thanks, Gear. That is utterly disgusting. It deserves to be removed from the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
