From reporting by The Daily Dot.

Conservative psychologist/alt-right guru Jordan Peterson officially announced that he is launching what he calls a "free speech platform" known as Thinkspot.

Peterson insists that Thinkspot will adhere to his principles of anti-censorship so strongly that the platform will only ban or remove users if it is ordered to do so by the U.S. court of law. Because there's no way that could go horribly wrong.

Peterson also mentioned that Thinkspot will have a minimum word count as opposed to a maximum. "If minimum comment length is 50 words, you're gonna have to put a little thought into it," Peterson said to the right-wing outlet NewsBusters. "Even if you're being a troll, you'll be a quasi-witty troll."

Thinkspot is being marketed as a creator-to-consumer payment processor such as Patreon while also serving as an alternative to services such as Twitter and YouTube.

Thinkspot has an intended release date of August 2019.

    I see no difference. Show them who made communism and capitalism, they will happily deny about capitalism, but confirm about communism!. These slogans about "Marxist conspiracy" sound right like these famous "blood sucking industrialists draining proletaryat" right from early 1920s revolutionary pamphlets. Show them any capitalism gang massacre, you will hear exactly the same screeching as with left wing when you show them Stalin's version of communism, it usually sounds like "but this was not the real communism!". This is just not how the political conflict looks like, this is how we were manipulated that political conflict looks like.
    This will certainly end with censorship as the main objective of site discussed is far from free speech, the thing is that users will just not discuss the problem. And the problem is that there is a common enemy, which divides people to "alt-right" and "ultra-left". In fact, both of these ways look the same, only the words are a bit different, and both ways leads to pushing power into hands of people who shouldn't have it.
    But just try to write about it and blaspheme the Saint Profit of Web 3.0 :).
