I'm not even white, nor do I honestly "admire" white people per se. But it seems perfectly okay to say- "kill all white people" on twitter. Only recently Australian parliament voted against a symbolic motion- "It's okay to be white". And nobody seems to raise a finger. I mean fucking white people ruined Asia, sure. But it had nothing to do with their skin color and it was the ancestors.

Somehow gab is the bad guy here just because a certain group is the one being victimized. Also just to be clear, I have nothing against jews (before you read my name and call me an "enemy"). Just like nothing against whites.

I just want fairness. Period.

Gab hosts many, many, white supremacists. It has become a dumping ground for every social network's rejects...the people who've been booted from Twitter, reddit, etc (platforms that have been criticized for being slow to remove hate speech and incitement to violence, etc.) have congregated on Gab.

This isn't a free speech issue, it is an issue of whether Joyent wants to have responsibility for spreading that kind of thing. They don't, so they aren't. They gave Gab time to sort out alternatives, even though the kinds of things Gab hosts conflict with Joyent's terms of service. I think Joyent is well within their rights to tell'em to kick rocks and go spread their shit somewhere else.

You're arguing a tangential point. Why is it okay to say - "kill all whites" and the platform let's you be but not okay for a user to say "kill jews" and the platform boots the user and yet gets booted itself.

We're talking about more than just saying things here.

11 people have been murdered by a white supremacist, and Gab is the online community for white supremacists / neonazis / anti-semites, one of whom is the murderer, whose actions have been heavily influenced by the specific culture of that community. What does the white-people stuff you allegedly saw "on twitter" have to do with that?

Come on, really?

Gab is not the online community for white supremacists, that's just an absurd hyperbolic statement. I would downvote you if I could.

[mohammedbin]

I would say to you the same thing I said to your sibling- this is a tangential point.

Absolutely nothing in Twitter's policies supports your argument.

I find your point to be staggering.

Based on your name alone, are you really suggesting that you could engage online in the systematic advocacy of killing against whites in America, and face no consequences?

I guess you’re not exposed to mainstream media? I’m not very worried about the fate of white people in the US, but racism directed at whites is, as far as I can tell, perfectly acceptable discourse among the cultural elites. Might even get you a job at the New York Times.
