Good on Zuck. But what you're seeing is the axis of ideological conflict going forward, starting very soon, in fact. And leftists are going to win, more and more. Conservative speech will be shut down as "hate speech."

Look for cases arising from the hotbeds of political correctness, America's college campuses.
