Jordan Peterson is a professor at the University of Toronto and is a vocal critic of Canada's continuing, draconian crackdown on free speech. He has made several videos warning of the dangers of Canada's Bill C-16, another 'hate speech' law that is supposed to 'prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression.' It is officially illegal now in that tin pot utopia to use the wrong pronouns when describing someone. You can be fined, jailed and forced to take anti-bias training.

American companies Google and YouTube took down his accounts with no warning and no explanation, then later reinstated them after a public outcry. Sound familiar? Google owns YouTube. Should this internet monopoly be given carte blanche control to decide which viewpoints are given a platform and which are silenced? You decide. It's your fucking country.

    Nice to see your latest outrage. But you know the first amendment doesn't work in Canada right? Or with private fucking companies.

    Donkey.

    Canadians didn't care either. Their window of opportunity for doing something about it is closing. The blueprint for the future of America is being completed up North. American tech companies like Google and Facebook are aiding and abetting anti-democratic regimes from Canada to Germany to Pakistan. In Pakistan, Facebook gives the government information on users so that the state can locate them and prosecute them for "blaspheming" Islam. Better fucking hope a government with totalitarian tendiencies never gets installed here. Oh wait, it did, and then this happened:

    Keep belittling the very rights that allow you to say the stupid shit you do without getting imprisoned or killed like you would elsewhere.

    IDGAF what country it's in, it should be condemned and shoved up the asses of those UN Human Rights Loving puppets and toadies in Toronto, London, or anywhere else in the Western world who take away the rights to free speech and indulge bullshit pseudo-scientific mind control measures like 96 different pronouns. Fuck them all. They are the fucking fascists.

    If an internet content provider over censors it's user base then eventually a large chunk of that user base will LEAVE and create a new platform to share uncensored (or less censored) content. Sound familiar?
