Free speech may be banned by any mega corporation, because they are
a private for-profit company and can therefore do whatever they want.
Oh, sorry, Google is a --public-- for profit company, is a near
monopoly, and can therefore do whatever it wants.
Because banning a competing communication platform which has no
agenda per-se other than to enable the free speech that for example
is being trampled on by Google, is OK when you slander that platform
with something like:
Google: this is an App already! and this app "Advocates against
groups of people"
Really?
One of those never gonna present a fact "Razer" moments evidently,
but this time from a global near-monopoly behemoth for profit
"public" company, which has all sorts of statutory privileges by
virtue of its statutory nature - almost an arm of the government.
Alright, Google is an arm of the US Government, effectively,
clandestinely, and ultimately quite publicly, as essentially every
USA corporation is.
Google - where slander is ok when it's from Google, and also when
Google's slander is against an App and not against a human.
Lauren "Kangz Rule" Weinstein is sounding more like Razer by the
day...
Way to go Lauren, celebrating slander, suppression of free speech,
and the dictatorial rights of public mega-corporations - you're a
real peoples man hey?
Sincerely,
Zenaan

Alt-social network Gab booted from Google Play Store for hate speech

Gab, the conservative social network that has acted as a haven
for people banned from the usual platforms, has been removed
from the Google Play Store for violating the company's hate
speech policy, the company announced on Twitter. Apple removed
it from the App Store in June for similar reasons. That
policy is pretty straightforward: "We don't allow apps that
advocate against groups of people based on their race or
ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality,
veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity."
