PRESIDENT, FAIRLY CLEAR WHICH
WAY MOST AMERICANS WILL VOTE ON
THAT.
MELISSA: MARC LOTTER, THANK YOU.
DAVID: TRYING TO SILENCE
LIBERTY.
THAT IS HOW LIBERTARIANS ARE
TALKING ABOUT CRACKDOWN ON
SO-CALLED HATE SPEECH.
TWITTER SAY THEY HAVE SUSPENDED
SEVERAL LIBERTARIAN ACCOUNTS,
INCLUDING RON PAUL, INSTITUTE
DIRECTOR DANIEL McADAMS.
HERE IS DR. RON PAUL, FORMER
TEXAS CONGRESSMAN AND HOST OF
THE RON PAUL LIBERTY REPORT.
DR. PAUL, GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
WE HAVE HEARD THAT MR. McADAMS
TWITTER ACCOUNT IS BACK ON.
WE TRIED TO CONTACT TWITTER.
THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED OUR
EXPLAIN THEIR ACTIONS OR
APOLOGIZE OR TO YOU OR
MR. McADAMS?
>> NOT TO ME.
HE WAS PUT BACK ON THERE WITH
SOME TYPE OF APOLOGY BIT BUT I
DON'T REMEMBER THE WORDING.
IT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A FORM OF
APOLOGY.
THAT THEY PUT HIM BACK ON.
DAVID: DO YOU THINK IT WAS
MISTAKE BE OR DELIBERATE EFFORT
TO SILENCE YOU GUYS?
>> I THINK, PROBABLY BOTH.
THEY'RE DELIBERATELY ATTACKING,
THAT IS COMMON PRACTICE.
THEY DO MAKE MISTAKES, THEY
OVERSHOOT, DANIEL McADAMS
SOMEBODY ELSE SAID SOMETHING HE
RETWEET HE IT.
I GUESS HIS GUILT LEVEL WAS
LOWER, THEY DECIDED THEY MIGHT
BE, MAYBE PUBLIC PRESSURE STILL
LIKE YOU AND OTHERS TALK ABOUT
COULD THEY BE TARGETING
HELPS.
I THINK IT WAS MAYBE HELPFUL FOR
MAYBE, FACEBOOK REASSESSING
THEIR TOOLS AND THEIR TECHNIQUES
ON HOW TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHO
DAVID: THERE ARE ALL THE
ALGORITHMS.
YOU KNOW THIS VERY WELL, KIND OF
ALERT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE TWITTER
OR FACEBOOK OR WHATEVER, TO WHAT
THEY CALL HATE SPEECH.
BUT I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING IN
>> NO.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, AND I KNOW
YOU UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE,
BECAUSE IT IS BUILT ON
NON-VIOLENCE, NONAGGRESSION.
DAVID: THAT'S RIGHT.
>> MANY TIMES WE CITE
MARTIN LUTHER KING BECAUSE HE
WAS A PEACEFUL PERSON THAT
DEFENDED HIS POSITIONS AND DID
NOT ADVOCATE VIOLENCE.
DAVID: FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR
WITH IT.
CONSERVATIVES VERY OFTEN CHIDE
YOU LIBERTARIANS BEING TOO SOFT
ON THINGS LIKE DEFENSE.
IF ANYTHING IT IS MORE PEACEFUL
MESSAGE THAN MOST CONSERVATIVE
WEBSITES T DOES LEAD ONE TO
QUESTION WHETHER, AN ENTIRE
GENERATION THAT IS NOW DEPENDENT
ON SOCIAL MEDIA IS BEING KIND OF
DON'T BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU
ESPOUSE, THAT IS STRONG SUPPORT
OF THE FREE MARKET AND A CONDEMN
CONDEMN -- CONDEMNATION OF
SOCIALISM.
INTO WHAT YOU TALK ABOUT IS A
REAL CHALLENGE TO US.
I TALK ABOUT ON MY PROGRAM.
FIRST OFF, DO THEY HAVE A RIGHT
TO DO THIS.
WE WOULD ARGUE THEY ARE PRIVATE
AND THEY MONITOR AND MY WEB
PAGE, I CAN KEEP PEOPLE OFF IF
THEY'RE UGLY AND NASTY, BUT THE
QUESTION IS, ARE THEY GETTING
ANY SUPPORT FROM THE GOVERNMENT?
THEY ACCOMMODATE THE GOVERNMENT.
THEY PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE
GOVERNMENT.
THEY GET MONEY INDIRECTLY WHEN
IT WAS DEVELOPED.
THEY GET ADVERTISEMENT FROM THE
GOVERNMENT.
FACEBOOK HAS JUST DECIDED THEY
USE ATLANTIC COUNCIL PEOPLE TO
HELP THEM SORT THIS OUT AND FIND
OUT WHO SHOULD BE CENSORED AND
IS BIG GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION.
WHO GIVE AS LOT OF MONEY TO IT?
FACEBOOK.
THAT IS A FACADE.
FACEBOOK SAID IF SOMEBODY
DISAGREES WE'LL SEND THEM TO THE
DAVID: CENSORS.
SOME PEOPLE CALL THEM
INSPECTORS.
YOU AND I WOULD CALL THEM
CENSORS.
I'M SHORT ON TIME, BUT GOT TO
ASK YOU DO YOU THINK RISE OF
PEEL TO MILLENIALS BECAUSE YOU
HAVE EDITORS OR CENSORS WORKING
FOR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES?
>> I THINK PARTIALLY IS THE CASE
YEAH THERE WAS AN ELECTION WON.
PEOPLE DON'T BUY INTO THAT.
SO SOMETIMES THE POLLING I
GUESS, REALLY GET TO THE YOUNG
PEOPLE, DO THEY SORT OF LIKE
THIS IDEA OF PEACE AND
PROSPERITY, RIGHT?
THAT WE ADVERTISE FOR.
OF 18 DON'T ALL OF SUDDEN GET UP
AND WANT BIG GOVERNMENT, MORE
TAXES AND POVERTY AND WE NEED
ANOTHER WAR.
YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T VOLUNTEER AND
MARCH FORWARD.
IDEAS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
THEY'RE VERY, VERY POWERFUL.
SAID THEY CAN'T BE STOPPED BY
ARMIES.
I GO HOW POWERFUL MEDIA AND
SOCIAL NETWORKS ARE, IF YOU HAVE
A GOOD IDEA AND IT IS RIGHT, I
BELIEVE WE CAN WIN THE FIGHT.
