Today’s face of the day Jordan Peterson has Announced his **Free Speech** Platform **‘Thinkspot’**

**This is VERY exciting news.**

An upcoming free speech platform promises to provide users the best features of other social media, but **without the censorship.**

The **subscription based** **“anti-censorship”** platform “Thinkspot” is being created by popular psychologist Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. It’s being marketed as a free speech alternative to payment processors like Patreon in that it will “monetize creators” and provide a social media alternative to platforms like Facebook and YouTube.

Peterson discussed Thinkspot with podcaster Joe Rogan on June 9, emphasizing a radically pro-free speech Terms of Service. He described that freedom as the “central” aspect saying, **“once you’re on our platform we won’t take you down unless we’re ordered to by a US court of law.”**

That will be a profound contrast to platforms that ban users for “misgendering” people who identify as trans, or for tweeting “learn to code” at fired journalists.

\[…\] All comments on the website will have a voting feature “and if your ratio of upvotes to downvotes falls below 50/50 then your comments will be hidden, people will still be able to see them, if they click, but you’ll disappear.” He later added a caveat saying that was still being mulled over and that “We don’t know if 50/50 is right.”

The platform, with its subscription-based service, will also directly subsidize content creators.

Peterson said that **a handful of major free speech proponents** including Dave Rubin, Michael Shermer are on board to be beta testers for Thinkspot.

Peterson’s daughter Mikhaila \[…\] encouraged podcast listeners to sign up as testers for the platform in its current beta phase, before the **intended August 2019 launch.**

“We’re in desperate need for a platform that doesn’t arbitrarily decide to throw people off because of random crowd mentality,” she said.

\[…\] Get on the waitlist here, exciting announcements coming very soon. [http://thinkspot.com.](http://thinkspot.com./?ref=goodoil.news)
