    no it was trump that called CNN et al fake news when THE MEDIA didn't report the facts...

    like they said Spygate was all a myth... but then it turns out Obama HAD been spying on his campaign AND when he took office.

    LIES do not constitute TRUTH in media..

    he pointed out how CNN told lies about Nick Sandmann... and they got sued and LOST in court.

    he said that the Russians were trying to help Killary win the election and it was proven AFTER that he was telling the truth.

    he said when they were pushing the dossier that the "peeing prostitutes" was Fake news... guess what IT was all fabricated by Steele who was paid by Killary to write the bullshit dossier

    I love free speech. I just hate it when people use the "free speech" argument to spew hate.

    You can say it a thousand times that the Russians weren't trying to help trump get elected, it still won't be true. They knew he would be extremely easy to manipulate. And it proved to be true.

    In England, February 2020 a previous visit by British police to a man who was told to ''check your thinking'' and accused of posting "transphobic" tweets was found to be unlawful by the High Court. The court determined the police force's actions were a "disproportionate interference" with his right to freedom of expression.

    So given that it's clear you don't support free speech, as you cannot have free speech with exceptions.

    There are always exceptions to freedom of speech.

    What is the law on free speech?
    Under Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998, “everyone has the right to freedom of expression” in the UK. But the law states that this freedom “may be subject to formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society”.

    Those restrictions may be “in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary”.

    But here you imply that media platforms such as Parler spread hate, and hate these days just seems to be anything the MSM don't agree with.

    Parler is neither good nor bad. It is just a platform.
    It is the people who spread the hate.

    Maybe in Canada, but the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution allows for no exceptions.

    Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791.
    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
    free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of
    the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of
    grievances.

    Your a very poor student of the Constitution YOUR right to free speech has resrictions therefore, may not be recognized as being absolute, and common limitations or boundaries to freedom of speech relate to libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, food labeling,
