Another Forum Shut Down

Do we really need to rely on Neo-Nazi's to provide conservative content? And as I stated recently on another thread here you could create a many point "check list" to see how you stack up to someone's ideals on being conservative and the Neo-Nazi's could pull an F in terms of whether they meet the thresh hold or not. It's time for mainstream conservatives to get going to put their own content out and not sit around hoping someone else will do it. I think some have just fallen asleep because they have not been watching the media become increasingly ultra-left.

It was not shut down by the government so it says nothing about free speech.
This is what many people do not understand about the first amendment.
here si the actual text from the US Constitution:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.[1]"


Does that say anything about private companies being obligated to allow free speech on their platforms?
NOPE.
Free speech in the constitution is about the GOVERNMENT not limiting speech.
It does not mean you are guaranteed free speech on private property, at a workplace, on this very message board, etc.
Websites are private property, they are hosted and registered on private companies.
Private property rights is one of the pillars this country was built on, and private companies have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason as long as it does not violate any discrimination laws.
Nazis are not a protected group, therefore you can refuse service to them.

In a similar vein to what another poster said, free speech means that the government can't stop you from saying someone, it doesn't mean that other people have to provide you with a microphone. I'm opposed to hate speech laws but not opposed to service providers deciding what kind of content they want to support. Particularly when they're only weeding out hateful freaks like these guys. I might be a little worried if they started taking off mainstream conservative sites, but Breitbart and sites for Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, or National Review aren't in any threat of being taken off the internet.

If you're conservative (as I suspect the OP is and as I am to an extent) this is how the free market works. If a business decides it's no longer in their interest to have a certain client they'll terminate the relationship. I have no problem with that.

I will lose no sleep over this

Good.

Better start utilizing suggestions.

Also, free speech is between citizens and their government. Between two private entities, there is none!

Free speech doesn't mean free from social or economic consequences.
