YouTube just banned this guys channel.
It was because he filmed himself punching a woman so they said it promoted violence.
The woman was in a computer game. So was his character.
His first video back after his ban is to called 'deporting a mexican'. He's got some balls.

Absolutely.
But I think people on the whole prefer freedom of speech to be controlled, so it is.
So, not freedom of speech then.

Not at all, no. There is no such thing.
And people don't fight for it, because they don't want it, even on here.

As has been said already, I'm sure, the problem stems from the fact people want to be able to say what they want, but don't want other people to have the same right, lest there be differing opinions.

Just human nature I suppose.
I can, for example, laugh at a joke about pretty much anything, seeing it purely as humour value rather than examining the content for being right or wrong, but I realise the same 'humour' might be deeply hurtful or offensive to others, so would never dream of repeating it to anyone I didn't already know has the same tolerance for humour as me & I would not like to hear someone else repeat such humour amongst people who may be offended by it. So I don't even allow myself freedom of speech.
Having said that, if someone goes to a Ricky Gervais gig for example & gets offended, it's their own fault.
I’ve been following these on Twitter and reading some of the stuff they post.
It’s funny that they’re all for individual freedom and liberty and yet spend half their time calling out transgender people.
It's their right to call out whoever they want. There's no hypocrisy there.

I’m not saying they don’t have the right, but calling out someone based on their identity is the opposite of being a liberal.
They also seem to show some level of support for Trump, a man who’s attacked the free press.
Im a liberal and agree with a lot of what Dr Peterson says. I’ve followed their Twitter with a completely open mind and I’m not buying it from what I’ve seen so far.
