Patently Apple had a great editorial out appreciating the stand that Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has taken for free speech. I’m kind of in the same boat as the writer. I’ve never been a big fan of Zuckerberg, but I’m taking notice of Zuckerberg’s principled stand for free speech and I applaud him today.
Facebook sees through those trying to shut out the President of America from expressing his views. These groups couch their demands under hate speech and Zuckerberg sees it for what it is: Suppressing Free Speech.
I have to admit that Facebook's Zuckerberg hasn't been on my favorites list since the Cambridge Analytica data scandal. Though seeing Zuckerberg continuing to turn a deaf ear to the left's demands of shutting out President Trump, I have to take a moment and applaud him. I was sure he was going to buckle today under pressure and he didn't.—Patently Apple, July 7, 2020
I grew up hearing the phrase, “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll fight for your right to say it”. Whatever happened to that sentiment in American society?
If Nazism is so wrong, shouldn’t it be easy to make the case to our young people why it’s wrong? Only those who perceive that they will lose the argument, shun debate.
What is funny, is that many of those pushing the tech giants to suppress free speech would be the same people to decry the book burnings of the past. And yet, it’s the same thing. They are now advocating for the modern equivalent of book burning en masse.
