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.

If the speaker is ctrl-left it just means anyone that disagrees with them on anything. They just called Bill Maher alt-right, you couldn't make this stuff up.
On the other hand, the center-right "dark web" coalition against them flirted with the label for something like 2 weeks, before some racist nationalist lunatics became too associated with it and the rest therefore turned their back on the term.
So it's a very funny word, one of those words that tells you more about the speaker than the purported object of their speech. Simply using the phrase marks you as almost certainly an authoritarian, whether on the far left or far right.
If laughter is the best medicine, who are the best doctors?
