Gab’s #AndrewTorba utterly undermines the existence of his site gab.com, with his discussion on #porn.
Torba:

Main points from Torba, reasonable paraphrasing and interpretation:
1. “People who object to me are addicted to porn.”
2. “Let’s put legal barriers against speech I don’t like.”
3. Children. Save the children, as a reason for item 2.
My responses:
A. Yes humans have evolved to have “hidden sexuality.”
B. Yes adult #sexuality should be appropriately hidden, from children.
C. Adult porn, that is explicit portrayals of human sexuality, are absolutely free speech.
D. Torba is inviting legal blocks regarding speech some don’t like. Utterly hypocritical. Absolutely undermining his pwn brand.
E. It’s lazy and stupid to state that people who object to gov blocking access to legal images and words, via forced identity verification, are “addicted to porn.”
F. Gov regulation of what adults can share, about adults between adults, opens the door to too much control and regulation of human thought and interaction.
G. What is legal speech? Adult porn is legal.
H. If you’re a parent who’s concerned, use technology to block the content you consider inappropriate for viewing by children. The alternative is, what? Inviting censorious totalitarians to creep more into power.
I. The balance between what should be legal and not, has been reasonably reached already in America. We don’t ask the government for permission to read legal material or to see legal images, period. Adults viewing adults. Adults reading what adults do. Adults sharing with adults. Freedom of association. #Freedomofspeech. Freedom of thought. #Gab and Andrew Torba are off the rails.
J. Yes humans aren't bonobos. But gov requiring ID checks to view certain pixels or ink, is regressive and a quick path to totalitarianism. Nuance: https://jonathanshome.blogspot.com/2015/10/humans-are-not-bonobos-response-to.html
The destruction of gab.com.

p.s. Torba has blocked me on Twitter. He's Tetchy and is in a forced Silo.
