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.

>> Sure, I wouldn't want to read about that stuff either.
Do you mind if I ask why? Just by reading, it doesn't mean you agree with it. I was under the impression that by exposing oneself to various ideas, one can avoid echo chambers and confirmation bias. No?

Suppose it were even as the title claims. So what?
People aren't "shaking off" belief in God nor becoming more gullible. It's a wish fulfillment headline.
South Africa wasn't a "white country" in the first place.
In each of these titles, basic premises are broken. No point to going further.
Standard fallacy deployment in the title. No reason to continue.
There's a lot of noise out there. We need to filter it out or it's garbage in, garbage out.
