    I don’t understand free speech absolutists. You don’t think that maybe calling for all Palestinians to be killed is maybe a bit genocidal and should perhaps be discouraged on a social media platform?

    Mind you this isn’t a law and wouldn’t lead to any actual limiting of liberties, it just means we discourage genocide on social media. Something that seems pretty reasonable to me, and I think any large enough platform should probably feel some obligation to do.

      I wonder if they would still feel that way if they knew how radio stations were used to foment the Rwandan genocide?

      Who am I kidding? Probably.
