No, but turnabout is fair play now isn't it? They initiated this pattern of division and censorship, we can't sit around and play pattycake with these people forever.
as painful as it may seem, we have to operate on a moral and constitutional compass. we can't be opposed to government overreach, free speech, etc, only when it seems to harm us. we need to be honest and unbiased and imagine the situations reversed and agree on the actual rules of the game for all, even our opponents
Gab is not at the level of twitter and Facebook. I am usually about a 99.9% free market guy. I have no problem with businesses discriminating on the basis of pretty much whatever they want. The twitter and facebook thing made me doubt those principles a bit, because they are so pervasive and dominant and having an enormous impact on our society, and then banning and censoring people. So for them I did find my principles reaching their breaking point and wanting to see restrictions come down, like how Poland is going to fine companies for censoring. But with Gab you are looking at a much smaller platform. I don't care if liberals had a Gab sized platform that was liberal only. But the gigantic Facebooks, Twitters, and Googles are really threatening to destroy our civilization, so it's questionable at that point. But I do admit that it pains me to break my free market principles and it is something I ponder about.
my hope is that when the BOOMs come that the Googles and Twatters of the world will be exposed for the traitorous and crimes against humanity behaviour and bankrupted via massive class action suits and/or the forfeiture of all their assets in accordance with Trump's EOs
