Should there, or should there not be an internet bill of rights protecting companies from the type of persecution that a site like gab has been put under?

Free Market. No.

Edit: To elaborate, the theory of an Internet Bill of Rights is good on paper if we could trust the people making it to not forget us all over: which we can not.

Gab.ai is ran by some fat dipstuff who makes Periscope videos where he is literally walking around his back yard panting and huffing and crying about censorship. It started off as an asset flip of an open source PHP project found out Github and is now a million dollar startup company which did meet its $1m goal of private funding a few months ago.

It aims to be a "free speech twitter alternative", but is already banning tribals and has added a NSFW tickbox to comply with Apple Store rules because apparently they think they should be making Apple apps instead of just using web browsers to achieve what they want very easily. Every single person on Gab is loving insane. Almost all of them seem to say "free speech" but covertly mean "hugbox for my own beliefs". It fell into the 8chan pitfall right off the loving bat by making itself an extremist alternative to an existing service, so instead of being the "free speech" variant, it's really where child enthusiasts and national socialists go to scream about people they don't like, making itself utterly appalling to normal users who would stabilize the platform.

i don't understand you conservative types

you want less regulation of guns and stuff and everything else, but in these handicapped circumstances you want the loving government to enforce your right to stuffpost national socialist memes and not get called a richard for it

realistically speaking, the common denominator here is personal liberty. the point isn't that regulation is always bad, it's that freedom is better

certainly don't understand why some of those liberties like saying slurs are so fiercely fought-for, but i guess that's for other people to sort out
