The village (community/lack of community) makes the villains. Everyone's a problem. We are all to blame.

interesting… whether the sites will be found liable…. it’s pretty unlikely, but it sure does shine a spotlight on how each are magnets for alt-right crazies. I wonder if that will have any effect on their moderation?

I doubt it.

This lawsuit is not going anywhere because of Section 230.

I used to think censorship worked. Now I think that just encourages troubled individuals to find an even worse echo chamber somewhere on the internet.

I don't know what the right answer is regarding some of the parties in these lawsuits, I just see more and more stuff get censored and it never seems to get any better.

It’s like spraying insect repellent, it just pushed the roaches to hide deeper into your house and spread around.
