After making an announcement that they were purging so-called hate speech, they purged some of the most popular sites on Reddit. More than 2,000 sites were purged, including the pro-Trump community, the__Donald, and the popular left-wing community ChapTrapHouse.

“I have to admit that I’ve struggled with balancing my values as an American, and around free speech and free expression, with my values and the company’s values around common human decency,” Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said.

Within minutes of Reddit’s bans, Twitch banned President Trump temporarily. Amazon’s live streaming video site Twitch temporarily banned President Donald Trump from its platform Monday for posting “hateful conduct.”
It’s unclear how long the ban will be in place. The Trump campaign joined Twitch last year in order to stream its rallies and events.

It says Congress shall make no law “against”, but Can make a law protecting and “expanding” such liberties. For some time courts… Read more »
