The idea of suing a website might seem abhorrent to advocates of free speech on the internet, but maybe one case shows that it can be justified?
Whitefish Woman's Lawsuit Over 'Daily Stormer' Harassment Proceeding
The Missoulian is reporting [archive] that a Whitefish woman's lawsuit against a Nazi website is going forward.
Montana Public Radio reports that Andrew Anglin, publisher of The Daily Stormer, is being sued by an individual the website targeted because of the mother of Richard Spencer:
The Daily Stormer called for readers to harass her and her family over her dealings with the mother of white nationalist Richard Spencer.

Northwestern Montana, however, has had some experience in dealing with neo-Nazis in the neighborhood.

Couldn't you say that the statement "People complaining about lack of free speech on the internet tend to be Alt-Right and Nazi affiliated these days." is using an overly broad brush and that not everyone in favor of free speech is alt-right or a nazi?
Or did you want to skip right to character assassination to marginalize and oppress these groups?

I would be more in favor of concentration camps, and then tribunals and summary execution, but we might try de-Nazification, like we did after WWII. The turn of phrase is that the neo-Nazis have "weaponized" free speech.

Just so you know, summary executions don't require camps, tribunals, or any of the other trappings of law, no matter how unjust the law might be. Summary executions are just - you know - summary. I decide that you die, I pull the trigger, and it's all over but the crying.

Silly Arkansawite! Do they no longer have civic classes in your high-schools? Of course they require these things to maintain the "cover" of law. It is just like when you are fucking the livestock, and you pretend that since you "own" them, that this is part of the deal. But, you know, it does not? So, no summary animal husbandry, OK? Runaway? Please? And no sexting of such encounters, because, you know. swine do not have smartphones, so there really is no point.

As usual, when AC attempts to be cute and witty, he fails. THIS is a summary execution: http://craniorectalectomy.com/images/saigon_execution.jpg [craniorectalectomy.com]
