On Wednesday, Apple confirmed to BuzzFeed News that it had disabled Apple Pay support for a handful of websites that sold sweaters with Nazi logos, T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase “White Pride,” and a bumper sticker showing a car plowing into stick figure demonstrators. Following Saturday’s Charlottesville demonstrations, where one woman was killed by a car driven by a white nationalist, the iPhone-maker blocked three white nationalist sites from using Apple Pay.
Good.
What about freedom of hate speech 😉
Works for me.
That’s probably because you make no distinction between groups that advocate violence and other groups that represent the victims of that violence. What a sheltered, privileged life you must have.
Glad there are still some out there with their heads screwed on correctly.
This is an example of an argument that appears logical only because it fails to make necessary value judgments.
Yes, if you eliminate all context, white pride appears equivalent to black pride or gay pride; but eliminating all context would also say that killing in self defense is the same thing as murder.
Context matters, value judgments are necessary if we are to have values at all, and the history and reality of white pride is that of white supremacy, which any decent person needs to stand against.
hate speech, like other forms is protected.
What about some actual diversity pride?
They should also block T-Shirts supporting Antifa!
