SPLC Leads Soros-Funded Groups in 'Orwellian' Attempt to Ban 'Hate Speech' on Social Media
PJ Media ^ | 10/29/18 | Tyler O'Neil

Posted on 10/30/2018 12:45:52 AM PDT by Freedom of Speech Wins

Last week, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) teamed up with five other groups funded by George Soros to pressure tech companies to "reduce hateful activities on their platforms." While this sounds like a noble goal, mainstream conservative and Christian groups that have fallen afoul of the SPLC warned that these liberal organizations have an "Orwellian" definition of hate that most Americans would disagree with. Worse, social media companies already seem biased against conservatives, and this SPLC campaign would only embolden that bias.

Twitter eliminating the like feature is a good example of this. They apparently claim it is to prevent radical hate perspectives from dominating debates; now if these views are so “radical” then why are they getting so many “likes” that they become dominant? That would appear they are not representative of fringe beliefs as suggested, but in fact a majority view. This shines light on the lie— they are trying to suppress majority views that are unpopular to liberals, and which liberals WANT people to believe are fringe views.

If Soros is backing it, if leftists are for it - then you know it is bad for America, runs counter to our founding principles, and will somehow reduce our freedom and liberty.

“Hate speech.”

It is all about who is doing the “hating”, and what “hating” is deemed to be permissible.

Right, banning the like feature was a censorship move. You describe this well here.

Vox Day had a comic based on QAnon up on Indiegogo. It got pulled because they rely on the SPLC’s definition of hate speech and that includes QAnon.
