Just because there is such a thing as "free speech" that is protected by the US Constitution, it doesn't give ANYONE the right to
a: openly harass others
b: cause issues of major public safety
When I read the Constitution (I actually CHECKED it), that is what I believe the Founding Fathers intended. It wasn't meant to be a "free-for-all" for whatever came out of your mouth but meant to be tempered by common sense and fairness. Also, no one is obligated to listen to said "free speech" that makes them uncomfortable or even upset.
When I left Gab, it was because Andrew Torba was being a massive hypocrite and openly allowed his groyper entorage to basically take over the site and drown out other voices except their own. A lot of good people left long before me over that same issue and it's the same thing that happened to the Christian church: people leaving or giving up because well-meaning pastors and ministers allowed worldy garbage to pollute the congregation and the faith.
I sincerely hope and pray that both CreationSocial and all of the JoshWho services don't go down that road because, once you do, walking it back is next to impossible.
That being said, anyone who puts out nonsensical #blahblahblah about "da jews" or "muh white ethnostate" from now on is free to do so BUT I don't have to entertain it. They WILL be blocked and the conversation will be OVER. End of story!

Charlie is not calling for or inciting violence though. He's just saying things that we don't like, which in the US is legally protected speech. The only way that changes is if the US Supreme Court says otherwise.

@TTOR13 Yeah. Most of what he says is perfectly legal, it's just either rude or unorthodox. But, that's his business, not mine.

And Gina deleted her CreationSocial account. How tragic.

@TTOR13 Wait, are you serious?

That's awful. Understandable but awful.
