Hoping this won't come off as a plug, because I think y'all will find this interesting, and that you would appreciate it coming right from a dev.
We made a game poking fun at #BlackLivesMatter and activists in general (I don't think I need to explain that kind of stuff to you guys), but it recently got banned from Google Play and then even pulled by Itch.io, both for "hate speech" even though all the speech in the game is from BLM activists themselves.
I wrote the whole story and some insight on Medium. If youre a dev, or you're just concerned about censorship (and more), do me a favor and take a look? -
The whole thing is beyond frustrating because we all know exactly what's going on, but the last thing I want to do is quietly go away like they want. This has gotta change.
I'll pop in to this thread to read and reply assuming this doesn't get deleted (lol)
It is hate speech though. #BLM is a terrorist organization by definition.

Good.
Free speech only applies to private residences, not public forums or privately-owned businesses. If you go into a public place and scream "NIGGERS NEED TO HANG" then of course you're going to be arrested for hate speech. This is one of the most grossly misunderstood things, right next to the right to bear arms. Seriously, the Second Amendment was written in reference to fucking muskets.
Google Play is a private business, so they have every right to police you

There's not really much anyone can do about their decision to pull it, but I think it's something still worth covering in the media. Like you said, they banned it for hate speech, but all of that came from BLM itself; people ought to be made aware. I at least hope the article gets some good coverage.

Here's a wager: You can't support one part of the constitution but deny another. If google supports the 15th amendment and says that people can't refuse anyone service on their race, gender, sexual orientation, etc, they HAVE to support the first amendment too or they are hypocrites.

Maybe if you live in a third world muslim country, like the UK. Freedom of speech has no boundaries in the glorious United State of America also known as the best country in the world 238 years running. other than if you are intending to incite a riot. If you are on private property you can be asked to leave and must comply, but out in public you can say whatever the fuck you want.
Jaxson Powell
I hate to defend that retard but google play is a private distribution platform, so your point is invalid. This also doesn't mean he can't make a website to give out copies of his game.
Joseph Walker
Shouldn't free speech really only apply to personal property anyways with the way its done by Americans?
Isaiah Long
Thats not the point I was arguing. I was only correcting a false statement. Google can do whatever it wants.
Free speech exists because without it the voices of those that do not agree with the masses are not heard, or worse, are persecuted for such thoughts. not that it stops the liberals from doing so anyway
The United States is a huge place with many different views. If freedom of speech were to be only allowed within the vicinity of your property and a single group came into power they could immediately stifle all opposing views.
Even if I think you're a giant poof faggot that should die, I still believe your stupid fucking opinion deserves to be heard. That's the American way.

They are silenced and persecuted anyways. What difference does it make? None. All it does is make it so the government has no legal precedence to silence you, and even that is a failure.
No wonder it's so chaotic. This is something that should be altered.
Happened anyways.
And it's a failure. The Founders never once suggested you should let people admonish the constitutions amendments and let people talk and criticize your nation into the dirt. The idea of free speech is self defeating in this manner, and for a practical people this could not be their original intention. Free speech; No, the rights of the constitution, should be forfeit to anyone who should ask that they be limited or removed.
Caleb Anderson

Anthony Lewis
Right, because being shouted down by retards is exactly the same as being thrown in a gulag for wrongthink.
The inefficiency of the American government is the only thing protecting us from the incompetence of the people that make it up. Wanting it to work smoothly is practically suicide.
Not entirely. For starters, this site still has a twatter account, among other things. As long as the 1st amendment is there, it forces anyone who wants to shut up others to focus public attention entirely on the shouting retards in enemy ranks, which is much preferable to the shit they've got going on everywhere else.
There's your problem. America was not made by practical people, it was made by free people. Also, by the logic of the second idea you proposed, that would also forfeit the rights of everybody who wants the niggers sent back to Africa to remain in the US instead of being in one of the Eurotrash countries.
Quit being a defeatist little bitch. Also, the extra line between the greentext and the response is unnecessary since the text is of two different colors.
David Rodriguez
I downloaded and played this game, and my biggest criticism is that it's just not fun to gun down niggers when identity politics is also in the mix.

To put it bluntly you need to add a level of subtlety. This is just off the top of my head but go with something like a scifi setting. There is a race of reptilian aliens that were enslaved by mankind. Eventually they were freed but allowed to live along side humans within' the federation. But the reptilians refused to assimilate into human culture, are savage in nature and lash out at humans. They scream in dialect known as Reptibonics which one could decrypt if they worked at it. You play a security guard at a rally for a human official who is hated by most of the reptilians. They attack the rally and it is up to you defend the potential federation official and unmask his political opponent as the reptilian in disguise that she is! They attack every spaceport on the planet you're on except for the one on the outskirts of the reptilian ghetto because of its higher security. At one point the reptilians start doing drugs and become more difficult to kill. You fight your way out of It isn't escort missions, you're just clearing the way and at the end of each level the official and his security detail run past as the security detail gets progressively smaller each time. Idealy the combat would be Paracite in City levels with the same level of sprite art but we are talking about trying to make a mobile game so any attempt at making an enjoyable game is practically dead in the water.

Aiden Sanders
They're just trying to correct the record. It's entirely harmless, goyim.
Elijah Jenkins
It isn't. But you accomplish the same thing in silencing someone. Free speech is still a failure in actually protecting free speech, all it's meant to do is prevent the government from stepping in and regulating speech. Which it has also failed to do.
No, the threat of Civil War is. A shitty government is going to be constantly in danger of being corrupted or taken apart by foreign powers. And, I was referring to America in general, not its government structure.
And Twitter can shut it down immediately if they wish with no repercussions.
How so? And it doesn't really seem to work that way. Liberalism is quite effective at getting votes and power, if nothing else. They've also been quite effective at using the 1st Amendment to destroy the 1st Amendment. Don't get me wrong, the Idea of free speech is a good one, but its self destructive when it allows you to speak out against it. It is inevitably going to be corrupted by those who would commit evil.
If America was not made by practical people it wouldn't have been made at all. The founding fathers were respectable and intelligent men, and the constitution that they slaved to create has been corrupted in ways they may never have guessed at. Do you truly think they were okay with Liberals shouting down the 2nd under the protection of the 1st? Do you truly believe that the 1st was meant to protect those who would destroy the constitution itself? user, that would be called treason in their time.
That's why you need to fix your demographics and society before you try and fix your government structure. Or better yet, only apply it to free speech. After all, you can't have free speech when people can actively destroy free speech.
It's defeatist to point out the flaws in the constitution? It may have been a genius invention at the time, but it is not flawless. Although if you insist that it is defeatist to point out those flaws, I suppose you already took my advice.
I see you've taken my advice; No criticism of the Constitution allowed :^)

Yes, it is monumentally retarded to make the claim that there is no freedom of speech in public; considering that the right to assemble is one of the major tenets. You have things absolutely ass-backwards, in private forums the owner of the forum can censor/limit speech as he sees fit. Public forums are owned by the government, technically to say, the bill of rights exist to limit governmental powers and not the individual freedoms of private citizenry, so the government has no right to restrict speech in public places. This is why neo-"nazi", KKK, or otherwise FBI fronts can march/congregate/assemble around courthouses or down city roads.
On the second Amendment, the Bill of Rights are to limit Government, not citizens. What's more, Independence was won by: rifles, cannon, explosive mines, and private war ships. Militias are civil associations made up of private citizens in order to mutually defend, a militia that is federalized or run by the states is an army. A well regulated militia is an armed populace.
tldr; You have the right to scream GTKRWN in a Jew Deli as they are open to the public, but they have the right to ban you and file a restraining order against further harassment. Whether your rights will stand up everywhere is questionable.

Trivializes and weaponizes the races it claims to defend, in the interest of using them to advance socialism and take control by weakening the nation through infighting and racial upheaval. It's also not "justice", but rather perverting the word to use it as a call to action to attack a race you disagree with.
When people stop talking about a problem, its seen as compliance.
Go fuck yourself communist. The founding fathers were smart enough to know weaponry would advance with technology, and they were smart enough to know their creation would eventually grow corrupt.

Is the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea a Democratic country? A Republic? For and by the People?
As a general rule, if something labels itself something that sounds good it probably isn't. Like a tool that says PRO on it or anything that says NEW & IMPROVED. Social Justice, in the modern parlance, is really Socialist Justice; think of it like Gulag reform camps. The goal isn't to further righteousness, but to make everyone guilty of something.

Brandon Mitchell
Does free speech include screaming fire in a crowded theater? Does it include libel and slander?
No it doesn't. This isn't free speech and it isn't protected.
Brody Nelson
Libel and slander are (theoretically) only illegal when untrue. In that case, along with yelling fire, it is a case of someone saying something false with the sole intent of causing harm. This is substantially different than a statement of opinion.
Jaxson Reyes
If "hate speech" fell under any of those things they would just call it that. Hate speech is practically defined as "legal but SJWs don't like it."
Zachary Jackson
You can say something completely untrue to slander/libel someone; it is only illegal when you know it to be untrue and you say it to defame/attack someone. If you are saying something as satire, or sarcastically, you can lie your ass off about someone; to better protect yourself from possible litigation, where the court decides if it is satire, make your statement so obtuse that no reasonable person would believe it.(see- Ted Cruz is the Zodiac)
Dominic Peterson
Yeah, because wanting the EU to have an army really makes them the best, doesn't it you fucking xenophile nigger?
Eli Gonzalez
That only flies if the target is ruled to be a public figure. Basically, it means that you can lie about Trump all you want if you can sufficiently convince the court that it was really just a failure in fact-checking rather than cooking up shit to throw, but you can't do the same thing to, say, the OP of the h-game general. t. user in a business law class.
If you want to get really technical, "hate speech" is related to "fighting words" and, oddly enough, "obscene speech," in that it really doesn't get acted on a whole lot due to libertarian folks getting up in arms over the subjectivity of finding it. "I'll know it when I see it" is not very reassuring when you've got the supreme law of the land behind you.

Luis Hughes
should've used and/or, but proving slander/libel is quite hard. Unless the shit-flinger is stupid enough to admit that they made it up.
Kind of; the hope was to fund a group of blacks to transform America the way Civil rights groups the Soviets funded did. In the ensuing slackening/chaos Soros and co. would clean up at the cost of the American public. It's pretty hilarious that a Hungarian Jew is using these negroids as money making tools without having to pay upkeep on a plantation house.
Aiden Martin
Of course, one critical difference is that "hate speech" has never been specifically defined in the law because it's never been held illegal in any context, unlike those other two things. Even when past lawmakers tried to do so, they have NEVER been upheld by the courts in a case that's still binding today.
