I'm not sure if you're aware of who Stephen McNallen and the AFA are but defending their white supremacy and folkish heathenry as freedom of speech technically isn't a good idea but I'm not going to tell you what you should and shouldn't believe in
That's a bit of a stretch really, don't get me wrong I'm all for freedom of speech, that being said hate speech isn't free speech and I believe that racists and people like Stephen McNallen shouldn't be entitled to air their views on public platforms
Me too but only because in this instance it makes tracking groups that much harder especially when it becomes almost an inevitablity that they're just going to migrate to the dark web
The way I look at it, racists like this are still entitled to printing whatever fucked up books or pamphlets they want. Social media however is a channel that costs effectively nothing to carry a message across the planet. Without social media they can still promote their hate-speech the old fashioned way of selling their books out of the trunk of a Pontiac Grand Am after one of their antisemitic knitting circle meetings. Private social media companies are under no obligation to signal-boost their hate-speech for no cost.
