Why you should care that a Neo Nazi website got shut down

Nazis are trash. So are racists like Louis Farrakhan. I know you don't like free speech at Berkeley. Free speech is dangerous and harmful to the students so it's important to cancel speeches by people who don't share their particular worldview so as not to offend anyone. I doubt you would have the same opinion if Farrakhan and his racist Islamist followers had their websites taken down. After all, they fit within the mold of what is approved by the cultural overlords.BearsWiin said:No state institution involved so no First Amendment issue, no aggrieved status, no protected class. Looking at any case involving denial of service to Nazis, a court would rule on rational basis and find for the company, if they deigned to take the case at all. NeoNazis want to get The Word out, they can stand on fucking streetcorners and hand out flyers like the Original Gangsta Brownshirts did.

OBK doesn't like it but Gays are protected by civil rights legislation and Nazis aren't. Good answer BEAR fanBearsWiin said:No state institution involved so no First Amendment issue, no aggrieved status, no protected class.

What happens if you're a gay Nazi wanting to start a website to air your views. Will they shut you down for being a Nazi? Or will they protect you for being gay?

You need look no further than Canada to see the end result of this kind of totalitarianism. It's still in its infancy here and needs to be aborted before it escapes the womb. You can be fined there for telling the wrong kind of joke, and jailed if you can't pay. They have 'tribunals' that basically decide what is offensive and what isn't, what kind of speech is allowed and what kind of speech will be silenced. Fight the system there and you will pay the price and even have your career/livelihood stripped away from you.
Not sure I agree with you on this. Heavily regulated industries are quasi governmental for various purposes. They often have the choice of either bowing to government regulator demands, or they get deemed a monopoly and get broken up. It's been a long time since the Supreme Court has heard one of these cases, but it's a lot like when Microsoft was facing anti-trust lawsuits for bundling it's browser with Windows.BearsWiin said:No state institution involved so no First Amendment issue, no aggrieved status, no protected class.

It will be interesting to watch, because Google and Social Media companies have far more influence over politics and daily life than Microsoft or Netscape ever did.
I just realized something. I'm getting fucking old. -
And what was it that wedged open the door? Canada's embrace of European Socialism. Nobody wants to admit they go together.oregonblitzkrieg said:You need look no further than Canada to see the end result of this kind of totalitarianism.

Sounds like the NeoNazis need to hire some devs in Mumbai to build and maintain a custom domain registrar for them. Maybe recruit some Indian or Asian computer science interns.

Socialism always ends in dictatorship. Always. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. National Socialism in Germany. Venezuela, etc.TurdBuffer said:
