Mike Lindell's Frank 'Free Speech' Site to Ban Swearing, Porn, Taking God's Name in Vain

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has said his upcoming "free speech" platform won't allow users to swear, post porn or take God's name in vain.

In a video uploaded to a static webpage acting as a placeholder for the so-called social media service—which is pitched as a mixture of YouTube and Twitter—he said that while the website will let users speak their mind, some restrictions will apply.

Lindell said: "You don't get to use the four swear words. The C-word, the N-word, the F-word or God's name in vain. Free speech is not pornography, free speech isn't 'I am going to kill you,' it is very well defined in our mission statement."

For now, that mission statement remains unclear, as does the website's functionality, layout, funding, management structure, user base and back-end infrastructure.

4. Free speech so long as I like what you say, in other words

Pretty telling that this is how he thinks free speech works -- I make the rules. It's true, free speech does not mean you can say what you want in any situation -- funny how they don't see the irony in this.

5. But it's okay to lie, facilitate the

transportation of minors for sex, and spread vile conspiracy theories about political opponents, etc. It's the trump way.

6. Is speech "directed to inciting imminent lawless action and is likely to produce such action" still

allowed on his platform? Yes? Whew, that's a relief!

7. "God's name in vain"

That's all these people do.

They really don't understand what it means to take God's name in vain.

10. I have been taking the name and protection of the Lord for decades

Don't need a vane to know which way the weather blows.
Devotion runs in my veins.
However, I am not vain enough to say it has changed anything.
Could seem it all has been in vain.
Vanity stops me from saying, "I will kill you".
"I leave your untimely death to God" will vaingloriously do.
