So, the story goes, the Daily Stormer wrote and published an article reviewing the new Star Trek Picard show, and it apparently went viral and got picked up by Google news. Anyway, the cries for censorship were immediate and demanding, and sure enough, Google immediately censored and removed this TV show review. It is well worth reading DS' response to this new round of censorship, especially this part:
As a right-winger, I would be happy to see an orthodox Marxist critique of Star Trek: Picard. I would be happy to see an orthodox Jewish critique of the show. It would be interesting. I do not have an emotional breakdown when I am exposed to ideas that I don’t agree with, and in fact I enjoy challenging my own beliefs by comparing them to the beliefs of others. However, if I ever did end up in a situation where something someone wrote on the internet caused me to have an emotional breakdown somehow, I would not be advocating to silence people’s speech.
I am an advocate for more speech, including and even especially speech from people I disagree with, as I believe I am right and that if I have free access to an open marketplace of ideas, my ideas will win out. And clearly, that is what happened when I became the number one news article for Star Trek fans on the Google News app – I won the marketplace of ideas.
So the competition had to shut me down.
