 There is only one definition of free speech. You can say what you like. If you can't blaspheme you don't have freedom. It's that simple. 

You can't speak freely until you can think freely and you can't think freely if you're told what to think. What Gab offers is the same thing Xi offers China. My way or the highway. That's a dictatorship.

Saying you believe in free speech and then telling people what they can say is hypocrisy.

More importantly, while Andrew controls Gab he can control what people say. Relying on his indulgence is not real freedom. It's the freedom of a surf.

If he said this is Christian network where we indoctrinate people in the one true religion, I'd have no issue with him. It's the lies that irritate me.
