It's not the side they are on, right or left, it's the violent and hateful rhetoric they use.
It’s not necessary for a bloated non profit to remove access to an extension for political reasons (versus technical deficiencies).
Free speech is useless if you’re not willing to defend that which you find most disagreeable.
Please, tell me again why Firefox is not evil and respect their users.
Because Dissenter was created by Gab, a far/alt-right online platform. Such groups are known for fostering hostile environments online towards people of various religions, races, cultural/political views, etc.. It is by no means a stretch of the imagination for Mozilla to claim that users of the app were using it for such purposes. As such, it would be apropos for Mozilla to remove an app that provides a platform for…
Oh? Mozila did not respect the dissenter’s users, did they? Why are they not respecting them to respect others? Does respect have priority or preference?
Yesterday’s agenda for authoritarianism was against hate crime and child protection. It seems today’s agenda for authoritarianism is respect. Pathetic.

So what? I'm not trolling, I'm trying to understand. It's doesn't look like anybody was forced to use the extension, you don't like it - don't use it. If it's ok to use clear-cut ideological censorship for plugins/extensions, then it's ok to block websites. Personally, I find it hard to accept.

Which is protected by constitutional rights in the country Mozilla’s nexus exists in.

Good thing it is not the government telling Mozilla to remove the plugin then, otherwise there might be an actual problem here.
What makes free speech useless is pretending that someone else has a responsibility to promote your message or provide you with access to a printing press. Neither are true. This does not even appear to be the case that Mozilla is preventing anyone from using the plugin, they are just deciding that they aren't going to make any effort to promote it.
I guess it is not too hard to see who the real snowflakes are...

If you have to create a special message board that is the only place where you can say what you want to, perhaps you should think about what you are saying. This is so obviously not an issue of "free speech." Free speech means the government cannot prosecute you for what you say. Any company can tell you to fuck off for any reason though, and that's the free market all the "free speech" advocates love so much.
Such was discussing LGBT issues before the 2000s.
