Shots fired. Here is an issue that will divide conservatives and libertarians. I maintain free speech is fundamental; but PornHub is an evil den of pedophilia. Does that make it lose its free speech rights? Well...generally, no, it doesn't.
Their failure to rein in sex trafficking, especially child sex trafficking, on their website is inexcusable and ought to be made a criminal case. They deserve to go out of business.
But silenced? Well, are they breaking the law, or breaking *reasonable* rules, in the feed?

Listen—this is absolutely messed up.
College as we know it is over.
Look at this graph. It's amazing. These kids have been completely indoctrinated by the intolerant left. Even the "conservatives" come out 41% in favor of reporting their professors. That's shameful.
Horrifying. Now, you've heard of such things before. We've seen lots of evidence of such intolerance over the last eight years or so. But it's gotten worse, clearly. 85% of the students with the dominant ideology on campus want professors reported! That's huge! It's insane!
In other words, the *typical* progressive student, not the crazy radical but the ho-hum garden variety one, wants both professors and students to be "reported to the university" if they say something "offensive." And you know how easily offended those people are.
“Let’s pretend we didn’t have any of the New Testament or other Christian writings,” [@LeeStrobel] said. “Even without them, what would we be able to conclude about Jesus from ancient non-Christian sources, such as Josephus, the Talmud, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, and others?”👇
[Distinguished historian Edwin] Yamauchi smiled. “We would still have a considerable amount of important historical evidence; in fact, it would provide a kind of outline for the life of Jesus,” he said.
Then he went on, raising a finger to emphasize each point.
“We would know that first, Jesus was a Jewish teacher; second, many people believed that he performed healings and exorcisms; third, some people believed he was the Messiah; fourth, he was rejected by the Jewish leaders; ...
Local policymakers, do you think that by failing to effectively enforce laws against public camping, drug sales and abuse, and shoplifting, you are doing the homeless any favors? Is this “humane”? Homelessness is an evil and your lax policies have made it spread uncontrolled.👇
It’s a mental health issue? Yes. And do you think it is conducive to mental health to live in a society breaking apart at the seams because the “authorities” think anarchy is humane? If you had nowhere else to go but insane tent cities, your mental health would be strained, too.
For the “homeless,” insanity is rife; yet your policies put the insane on the streets.
Drugs absolutely ruin their lives; but your policies make drugs cheaper, more plentiful, and in “liberal” youth culture you lionize, “cool.”
"Prosecutors accuse Nygard of running a decades-long sex trafficking scheme in which he lured dozens of women and minors to his properties to have sex with him, his friends, and his business partners."
"Vanity Fair once described Nygard as a hard-partying 'Hugh Hefner of down-market retail.'" He must be so proud.
Gosh! Only 679 flu deaths since Oct. 2020? What are the odds? I am shocked—shocked! The only possible explanation: all that masking & lockdowning stopped this formerly deadly disease! Yay!
What I want to know is, when are we going to investigate those people who *should have known* that mass flu-season masking could have prevented so many deaths?!
I mean, if only we had known! So many unnecessary deaths wouldn't have happened!
Gracious indeed! Well, isn't that special? Facebook thought-policed a theory, until they didn't. This little incident underscores and cements the truly disgusting advent of censorship and thought control by social media giants.
Just one reason I avoid Facebook whenever possible.
It's hard to believe they are listening to themselves.
"We’re continuing to work with health experts to keep pace with the evolving nature of the pandemic and regularly update our policies as new facts and trends emerge."
In other words: we're updating our censorship rules.
And this is supposed to be normal and acceptable.
People, it isn't. It is twisted and, not to put too nice a word on it, evil.
It's evil, because of the evil that the very existence of such power can and inevitably will be used for.
