You can have "free speech" in your own house

Do you have any evidence of posters on /pol/ being banned for the political content of their post?

Actually, 4chan is doing something along the lines of Stormfront's "Opposing Views" board. 4chan allows racist rhetoric on certain boards (e.g. /pol/) to give people who wish to argue an acceptable outlet. I haven't heard of racism getting banned on /pol/ yet, but /int/ certainly is not the appropriate board to post such rhetoric

but racism isn't an opposing view, anti-racism is

Quite old, but I don't keep many screencaps

I think your definition of free speech differs from moot's.

>>393227

>October 2011

Hahaha okay, post something recent or get out.

>>393226
Opposing views are defined by community norms. Racist views are the norm on /pol/ which makes anti-racist views the opposition there.

>>393227
Yeah...gonna need something a little more recent.

>>393231
Who the fuck are you? I'm not here to have my questions addressed by some self-absorbed twat, I'm here to talk to people who actually fucking have some position in 4chan's staff.

/pol/ is nothing but a huge edgy racist Anti-Semitic circlejerk.

Here's another cap, this time from /k/.

>>393242
To be fair, that is a little more appropriate on /pol/

>>393237

You obviously only browsed the board casually.

get BENT schlomo

>>393227

That was a German mod who was banning holocaust denial thread as it is illegal in Germany. Moot already addressed this issue and said to let him know if it happened again.

>>393244
It's about GUN control. It's obviously something which /k/ users would be interested in (and is applicable to the board's rules and topic, for that matter).

Why does Stormfront segregate opposing views into a separate forum? How is that different from "free speech zones"?

>dot net
how old is that banner?

>>393255
Moderators don't consider German law when it comes to moderation, mate.

>>393265
Look at their boards, they're all dedicated to specific topics and not general debate. I suppose that's why they wanted an opposing views forum.

>>393268

He did and was told to stay off of /pol/ if I remember correctly.

>>393262
Gun politics go on /pol/. This has been addressed several times by the moderation. It is a political issue. Why is that so hard to grasp?

>>393305
>>addressed by moderation
Bullshit.

Gun control belongs on /k/ just as much as it belongs on /pol/.

It's a topic that is both politically related AND gun related.

Topics can fall under more than one boards jurisdiction.

Yeah I posted this (pic related) last week and the thread got deleted about 2 minutes later ;__;

Hate speech and free speech are two different things.
You are free to say that Obama is an idiot for wanting to have stricter gun laws, you are free to say that he is intelligent for attempting such a thing.
But attacking him and calling him a nigger is not in anyway constructive, it is childish.

>Hate speech and free speech are two different things.

The doublethink is strong in you.

That's all folks !

Hey, it's another thread dedicated to nonspecific complaints about /pol/. How about this? If you don't like it, you can go somewhere else.

>>393519

You underestimate the number of people who a completely terrified by an place where speech is completely unregulated.

>>393405

/pol/ was specifically made for those 'childish' things, you idiot.

>>393405

>Hate speech and free speech are two different things

Is this real life?

>>393532
You're sure you don't confuse with /b/ yet ?

>>393535

no, it's patrick

>>393535

Welcome to /q/, 4chan's liberal shithole.

>>393541

what the fuck did liberalism ever do to you, that you would associate it with this

>>393542

Feelings being hurt = banning said thing that made feelings hurt

It's the American liberal perspective on how to deal with things.

>>393543
Do you like being offended because you're Caucasian and you have blue eyes ?

>>393543

Oh, you mean like the stormtards who constantly beg moot to ban all Israeli IP addresses?

I really hope your mother gets cunt cancer for giving birth to a waste of flesh like you.

>>393543

there is no fucking liberal perspective in america

>>393549
>Oh, you mean like the stormtards

Obvious false flag.

>>393549
What do Israeli IPs have to do with it? Also, you might consider calming down. I'm not sure why a rightwing troll board is getting to you so much.

>>393549

They only want them banned because of the shitposting and forum sliding, not because they're putting forward points that they disagree with

>>393547

If I'm offended by something, I suck it up and move on.

>>393550

Of course there is no 'actual' liberal perspective. I'm just generalizing the American left as such.

>>393549

>you mean like the stormtards who constantly beg moot to ban all Israeli IP addresses?

Hah. But I agree, stormfags are idiots.

>I really hope your mother gets cunt cancer for giving birth to a waste of flesh like you.

Nice.

>>393549

>I really hope your mother gets cunt cancer for giving birth to a waste of flesh like you.

You people are hypocrites.

>>393560

These retards scream "MUH FREE SPEECH!" whenever someone criticizes their flinging Nazi shit all over the site, yet, at the same time, they want anyone they don't like to be banned. I know it's hard for autistics (which most stormtards are) to understand hypocrisy, but that's pretty goddamn blatant. And nothing is "getting to me".

>>393564

Explain how I'm a hypocrite in any way.

>>393567

>Explain how I'm a hypocrite in any way.

Actually, wait, which side of the argument are? For or against censorship?

>>393562
But if everyone is offended by anything, /pol/ shouldn't exist. We can debate about society as others pe/pol/ without being offended by anything !

>>393579

*are you on

>>393580

Oh, yes. We should respect the feelings of others and forget that logic exists!

>>393567
I post on /pol/ a lot and I never see anyone say "muh free speech." You are making up a standard that doesn't exist to justify some vendetta you have against the board. Kindly fuck off.

>>393567

No-one on /pol/ wants people who disagree with them to be banned, go one there and ask if they want liberals to be banned and 99% of the posts will be no

The only people who want opposing opinions to be banned are libshits like yourself because >muh hate speech

No, they don't LITERALLY say "muh free speech", aspie. They use "free speech" as a defense mechanism whenever someone criticizes them. Don't like Nazis shitting up /int/? You're violating their "free speech". Don't want every board to become /stormfront/? You hate "free speech". But I guess "free speech" doesn't apply to anyone who isn't a like-minded bigot, since stormtards ALWAYS come here and beg moot to ban all Israeli IP addresses.

>>393628

You're wrong, find me a single stormfag that wants censorship

>>393561

it's time to stop posting

>>393619

I never said anything about "hate speech", retard. All opinions, no matter how vile, are protected by the 1st Amendment. That doesn't mean we have to tolerate you disgusting freaks spewing shit outside of your designated circle-jerk. Also, 4chan is a privately-owned website. You don't have "free speech" here. You have "moot-approved speech". Deal with it, mongoloid.

What are you babbling about, retard? /Int/ can ban whoever they want (such as Israelis--the real reason you are buttkrieg'd). As can any other board. The final decision rests with the mods. As of now, /pol/ is pretty laissez-faire by design, which leads to a lot of rightwing troll content since most people aren't perpetually aggrieved liberals like yourself.

>>393636

Pretty much every single thread on here involving /pol/ has stormtards asking for a blanket ban of Israeli IP addresses. In fact, one of the people you JUST responded to was trying to justify it.

>>393645

>/int/ can ban anyone they want

Except the reason people complain about /int/ is because it has a janitor who deletes all Israeli and Iranian posts. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, you drooling neckbeard.

>>393647

Can you please read this damn post already you illiterate libtard?

>>393561

>>393628
Neo-nazis-skinheads-zionists from /pol/ don't know who is really Adolf Hitler and believe to be nazi is just hate everything isn't a part of "aryan masthurr race". This isn't free speech for me but just hate speech.

>>393654
I support /int/'s mod since it obviously pisses you off to no end, and you've given me no reason to feel sympathy toward your plight.

>>393639

>I dont want opposing opinions to be banned

>opposing opinions should be banned, 4chan is private property

Make up your mind

>>393656

Just a second ago, you were asking me to "find one post" where a stormtard asks for censorship. Now, you're redirecting me to a poster justifying stormtard censorship that, in a previous post, you told to "stop posting"?

I'm starting to wonder if you aren't actually retarded.

>>393659
you are le epic trollmaster le ruseman attd't general, surely

one day you will notice that your foot hurts when you step on a lego and will die of blood loss after you attempt to experience schadenfreude against your own body

>>393661

I didn't say that opposing opinions should be banned. I said that moot technically has the right to ban whoever he wants if he so desires, since this is his website. Elementary-level reading comprehension FTW.

>>393268

Clearly that was an exception you fuckwad.

>>393668

>moot technically has the right to ban whoever he wants if he so desires

What an amazing realization you've had

We all know he has the legal right to ban people, retard, this discussion is about whether he should

Quiet, the adults are talking

>>393673

And, yet, you autists insist that 4chan is some kind of bastion of unlimited free speech and that anyone who dares to criticize stormtards is violating said free speech.

Also, nice job not responding to my other post where I made a complete fool out of you.

>>393677

wow it's almost like you're trying to address a bunch of people as a single unified group

that always leads to smart things happening

>>393666

Stopping people from breaking the rules by organized forum sliding and trolling isn't censorship against free speech

>tfw mods are being payed off by the jews.

>>393683

Yes, because we all know that the entire country of Israel is engaged in full-on warfare against a shitty imageboard for angry basement-dwellers.

>mfw this is what /pol/tards actually believe

>>393691

I'm not saying I agree with it, bu that's their justification, it's not that people disagree with them

Because your zionist friends have been coming here and complaining on mass.

WTF mods I thought you were cool, so now the zionist know all they have to do is spam /q/ and they can enforce their will.

People complain too much. At the end of the day, you have _significantly_ more freedom on 4chan than many sites, especially forums.

Imagine...

>no un-PC stuff
>no four-letter words
>no porn
>no anonymity
>having to register to post

The occasional renegade mod is rarely a problem once you figure them out and how to work around them.

>>393819

look, we've started putting shit in the food but other places put shit in the food with CORN in it

how do you expect us to make 4chan as shitty as the rest of the internet if everyone keeps complaining
