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.

    Then tell me how "centrists with classical-liberal beliefs, tempered with a pretty good dose of realism" managed to get what is basically the most disgusting public figure in the entire U.S. sitting in the oval office ?

    Talk is cheap. Actions are what matters. When conservatives talk, they are poor oppressed, misunderstood, and villified victims of the evil liberals trying to take away their free speech (and guns). But when they act, a sexual predator, child molester, egocentric, psychopath, compulsive-liar, megalomaniac, con-man with more than 1300 civil lawsuits against him who's destroyed countless small businesses and ruined countless lives ends-up President of the United States.

    If that's what conservative "values" lead to, then every single action and campain aimed at silencing and eradicating them is totally justified, just like chemotherapy is totally justified for eradicating cancer.

    Because you aren't the US. Enough people, a near majority had other ideas about who was more disgusting.
