We're Cleaning Up Gab and It's Long Overdue

Gab reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
That's well and good, about time I'd imagine, turning the other cheek too often is painful.
On the other hand, it leaves a lot of room for evil-smelling muck to remain. How far does this go?
Torba discovers the paradox of tolerance, and people whose speech he doesn't like don't deserve freedom of speech.
Horseshoe theory is real. But we also know that Torba genuinely believes that actual demons have spammed Gab in the past.
After facing a barrage of threats, doxxing, and other unhinged behavior over the past few weeks I’ve come to the conclusion that
these subversive mentally ill people don’t deserve the freedom of speech, they deserve to be committed. Why on earth are we
giving our enemies the freedom of speech and a platform they can use to destroy us with? It’s foolishness. At a minimum these
people are being expelled from Gab for good.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
"the only cure for bad speech is more speech."
"sunlight is the best disinfectant."
It's a shame Gab no longer believes in freedom of speech and has given itself over to the woke mind virus and embraced fascism and censorship. One has to wonder what uncomfortable truths his ideological enemies are revealing that the platform is so afraid of? Maybe he should practice some inner reflection and empathy and take the time to engage with the other side and try to understand why they feel their legitimate concerns. Perhaps engage them in vigorous public debate, so that the marketplace of ideas can decide.
After all, it's only words. Words can't do real damage. Just grow a thicker skin.
