Mike Lindell: My new ‘free speech’ social media platform will ban ‘taking God’s name in vain’

Speaking on Eric Metaxas’ radio program this Monday, MyPillow CEO and pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell touted the social media platform he plans to launch, which he claims will be a bastion of free speech — except for a few examples of speech he and God find offensive.

Lindell said that his “Frank Speech” platform will not allow users to swear or use the Lord’s name in vain because it will be “a Judeo-Christian platform” founded on biblical principles.

“We have a thing we found in the Constitution and our founding fathers that defines what free speech is,” Lindell said. “And Eric, get this, this Judeo-Christian platform we’re going to have here, they go by biblical principles—you know, you get to the Supreme Court, you have the 10 Commandments there. …”

“You’re not going to be able to swear,” Lindell added. “There will be four words for sure you can’t say: You can’t say the C-word, the N-word, the F-word, and you can’t use God’s name in vain. What a concept. Right?”

Lindell added that users will not be allowed to violate the Ninth Commandment while using the platform.

“Another thing you can’t do [is] what we define in there is totally defame someone,” he said. “What’s the Ninth Commandment? I can’t even think now, but in the Ninth Commandment, you’re bearing false witness … So, if you’re putting a complete lie against Eric; if I say, ‘Eric Metaxas did something terrible’ and it’s an out and out lie, that’s not free speech. That is not free speech.”
