I'll never understand people who think "free speech" will somehow stop companies from shutting down their hate platforms. Do they think they can just yell "free speech!" and nobody can tell them to shut the gently caress up?

As others have said: yes. There's a whole lot of stupid, stupid people who don't realize that freedom of speech is not freedom from the consequences of what you say.

Clicking around Amy Siskind's tweets shows Anonymous saying it wasn't them, but the actual owners faking it for attention. They say they wouldn't have left the donation page up, as it apparently still is.

I mean, "Anonymous" isn't exactly an organized force. It's mostly a lot of people independently saying they're representing Anonymous and working together sometimes. It could be the Daily Stormer faking it, or it could be some rando getting access and putting up a bunch of bullshit about how they're part of an elite Anonymous hacking force.

The post says they will leave the site up for 24 hours before destroying it. The exact amount of time GoDaddy gave! Also, again, they left the prominent call for donations.

Apparently the site owner has faked poo poo like this before so it's far more likely he's doing this. Anonymous would be much more obvious about the take down if it was them.

What I love is that they call this the "right to work" law.

That's some amazing spin. As in, you don't have the right to work!

No, they don't. Right-to-work laws are laws that say you can't be forced to join a union. At-will employment and right-to-work are two entirely different things and the former is not called the latter.

They are different things sure, but I live in Texas and the terms are used interchangeably. The former is constantly called the latter.

Pretty much this, if you look at literally any other page, you can see they left the kind of poo poo up that Anon would scrub.

Last time I was at a Browns game the crowd booed the opposing team, booed their own team, and then a high school came out to play on the field during half-time and they booed the actual literal children.

So basically what I'm saying is it's the team they deserve.

He once joked, “The thing about us fascists is, it’s not that we don’t believe in freedom of speech. You can say whatever you want. We’ll just throw you in an oven.”

2. If you knew before that your son was exhibiting these views, why didn't you try to do something about it before it came to this?
