Gods , I ' m so glad Google is trying to do something about this . It ' s the curse of the Internet and Google and Facebook are the two largest players . I ' m not hopeful that it will have any meaningful effect though . <| sep |> We must have different definitions of persecute . I ' m more originalist in understanding that it means to actually cause harm to someone else . But if you want to bastardize the word to mean people not wanting to bake a wedding cake , then sure , I get your point . Personal liberty means everybody can do whatever they want as long as it doesn ' t directly affect someone else . I ' m not out looking for ways people offend me so I can attack them for offending them . I don ' t see how Trump ever persecuted the gay community . In fact he made a big deal about welcoming transgender individuals into whatever bathroom they choose in Trump tower .
