He's right though.

It's a very slippery slope that I'd rather not have to tread.

If free speech is a right, doesn't that give Americans the right to hate speech? At what point does censoring that become infringement of people's rights.

I'm not making an argument for hate speech but that's the reality of where we are at in this country.

Is someone getting arrested?

No?

Just getting booted off a private company for which they agreed to the ToS?

Then nobody's fucking rights are being violated.

Maybe I don't fully understand. He's basically saying conservative speech is racist, and treasonistic in a round-about way.

Though privately owned companies have the right to censor whatever they like on their platform. They are not legally obligated to give anybody a platform to perpetuate their opinions even if our constitution gives them the right to free speech.

No customer gets arrested either when a Christian baker doesnt want to bake a cake for a gay couple, but all of a sudden its rights this and rights that all over the place. This is why you take these issues to the Supreme Court and sort it out. Alternatively, you could let the so-called free market decide on it instead.

Okay then yes you understood it correctly. Your post made it seem like you thought he was making the slippery slope argument.

But now with this post here, Im confused why you brought that up at all? Since neither he (nor you I guess) are making that argument.

Are the gay couple planning to use said cake to commit acts of terrorism?

No?

Then this is a stupid fucking comparison, isn't it?

Not to mention that runs afoul of specific legislation and isn't about a constitutional amendment that only applies to the government.
