Famous no-longer academic, Jordan Peterson, has taken the fight against de-platforming to the next level, "alt-platforming". From reporting by The Daily Dot [dailydot.com].

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

Hmmm, interesting. . .

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.

Looks like SN may have to sue for trademark infringement! But then,

The grift of creating “alternative” social media sites for bigoted views under the guise of protecting free speech has been attempted prior. The alt-right Twitter alternative Gab is one of the prominent of these and has gone through many controversies, such as being frequented by the gunman in last year’s Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.

Thinkspot has an intended release date of August 2019.

Godspeed, Jordan, gods-peed.
