Topic	The Synagogue Shooter once again exposes the danger of unchecked social media

I dont believe absolute freedom of speech should be the end goal for any social media website tasked with hosting opinions. I'd be perfectly ok with Twitter/Facebook deciding not to cater to what they believe are extremists This idea only works when they can be trusted to define "extremists" in an unbiased manner. They're not even capable of doing that with much simpler things than extremism. Why exactly does twitter/Facebook need to be unbiased? The alt right is a far bigger threat currently and the rush to somehow balance out focused policing of their online activities with their liberal equivalents seems very counterproductive. "Unbiased" in the sense that if two groups are equally dangerous or extreme, they should both be treated the same way. If one is currently posing a bigger danger, then being harsher on them is reasonable. But if two are equally dangerous, but they don't deal with one because "we kinda agree with them", that's where the problem lies. --- https://imgtc.com/i/0mboxsZ.png ^ Tiamat is best babe, if you disagree you're objectively wrong. <cite>TiamatLover posted [p:911280320] in The Synago...
