    Google allows plenty of hate speech on their site. Just take a look over at Gazi "Black Hitler" Kodzo and his related videos. Hate speech is perfectly OK by Google and the left, as long as you target the right people with your hate.

    But banning Nazis... THAT crosses the line? THAT is unacceptable?

    I don't want to live up in the world you're projecting with your fucked-up worldview.

    Given how the Alt-Left has spent the past 8 months calling everyone to the right of Stalin any bad name they think can stick, including Nazi -- to the point that Bernie Sanders supporters are "Alt Right Nazis" now for embarrassing Hillary in the primary -- yes, I find "banning Nazis" to be crossing the line.

    It was the Alt-Left that has diluted every political insult they have, to the point that they're literally meaningless. Now they want to decide who gets to keep their American Civil Rights based on what bad name they've been called by the mob?

    Facebook has kill Isreali groups, kill Republican groups, kill police groups. Has anyone actually killed Republicans or police because they were egged on by Facebook groups?

    Well, there was that group of Alt-Left BLM members that livestreamed a racist kidnapping and torture of a special needs white man on Facebook.

    And there are alt-left groups online that Micah Johnson were in that may have radicalized him enough to kill those 5 cops in Dallas.

    But I don't know of a smoking gun as of yet, no.

    But I do take issue with this:

    Flying the Nazi flag at a march is "aiding and abetting" an actual enemy of the USA that millions of Americans died defeating.

    No, it isn't. The original Nazis are nearly a century gone. Anyone flying the flag now is just a tryhard LARPer who is doing it to upset people. And it wasn't "Millions of Americans." The death toll in WW2 for the US was a little over 400k.

    If Google, Cloudflare, et cetera are all going to abuse their positions of privilege, then why not oppose Net Neutrality and let the ISPs knife them to death?

    Ironically, a cornerstone of the alt-left's ideology is that words they don't agree with are *violent.*

    They use this term specifically so they feel justified in trying to murder people that disagree with them. They use this term so they can justify harassing, doxing, and oppressing people who disagree with them.

    Because after all, those "White Lives Matter" guys and the tryhards pretending to be Nazis are being "violent" by existing, which means it's ok to try to murder them with homemade flamethrowers -- that's just self defense, right?

    Pray the alt-right never get to the point where they agree, because if they do, this is going to escalate very, very quickly.

    Allowing calls for violence is not a free and open world.

    The few white nationalists at the march were marching alongside a handful (I heard there was only one) of Neo Nazis, and a much larger contingent of people who were simply opposed to the idea of tearing down statues because they offend PC obsessed millennials who have declared them unIslamic. Er, sorry, politically incorrect.

    They were preaching nonviolence and they were nonviolent. Know how I know?

    1. There was a march the night before -- where they had all those torches -- which was completely uneventful. The violence didn't start until the Alt-Left -- Antifa -- showed up the next day with metal bats and blocked their path, assaulting them when they came close.

    2. There was an unnamed militia there with assault rifles. If the Alt-Right was violent, there would have been mass casualties on the Alt-Left side. There weren't.

    3. What kind of retards would fight in court for the right to march then riot at their own march? That doesn't pass the smell test.

    It turns out that most people don't buy the nonsense "Racism is power plus prejudice and white people have all the power, so only whites can be racist, and you can't be racist towards whites, just prejudiced, and that's ok because white people are responsible for all the evil in the world" crap that radical Alt-Leftists spout off regularly.

    Meet Eric Clanton, an Antifa -- Alt Left -- icon.

    He's a professor at Berkeley. He teaches ETHICS.

    He tried to murder 7 people with a Bike lock during the Berkley riots. Here's a video of one of his attacks:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    Note that there are two female Alt-Left domestic terrorists that provide a distraction and point his victim out to Eric. Note that the other ISIS cosplaying losers protect Eric by opening a hole in the wall so he can attack and then preventing anyone from restraining Eric for the police.

    Eric's reasoning? The students wanted to see a Gay Jewish Immigrant speak about the dangers of Islam and a Conservative woman talk about how great America is, and he felt that they shouldn't be allowed to do that.

    Fortunately, thanks to 4chan tracking him down, he's looking at a long, LONG time in jail: http://www.berkeleyside.com/20...

    There's an Alt Left, they're way worse than the Alt Right, and the more the "enlightened left" pretends they don't exist the more people like Clanton out there feel emboldened to try to murder people in the streets.

    Wrong. There is no "hate speech" provision in the 1st amendment. To suggest otherwise shows:

    1. A complete lack of understanding of American ideals.

    2. A disgusting, horrifying level of illiberal authoritarianism, which makes me think you're some kind of arch Neo-Con on par with George Bush Jr or Hillary Clinton.

    Like it or not, the most vile among us have the right to speak and assemble in public. This does not include having some hipster douchebags cosplaying as ISIS attacking them.

    Now, you can make some argument about Google, Cloudfire, etc being private companies, but we're approaching the point where a handful of companies' decisions can have massive effects on citizen's free speech, which brings forth the idea that maybe, just maybe, the Government isn't allowed outsource censorship and oppression to corporations to do it for them -- in other words, that the 1st amendment prevents Google et all from discriminating like this.

    "Hate speech," which is Google's complaint here, doesn't exist. It has no definition and what little definition it has shifts to mean "things I personally find offensive and that target a group I feel should not be targeted."

    There is no legal definition of such and it is protected by the first amendment -- and any laws against "hate speech" would be struck down under those grounds.

    The only legal liability involved is Google screwing up and surrendering their Common Carrier status due to discriminating against Youtube channels and Google Play apps. They are now liable for every single youtube video and app on the google play store -- and anything anyone does with them. If someone gets an app on Google Play that breaks Wifi passwords, Google is now liable for damage, because they gave up their Common Carrier status.
