Removing non violent posts that contain: “Calls for protests — even peaceful ones — if they violate the curfew in DC” or “Praise and support of the storming of the US Capitol” feels like such an overreach. It makes me sick.
Unpopular speech is the most important, perhaps the only speech that needs to be defended. As Rosa Luxembourg said: those who do not move do not notice their chains. Any discourse that isn’t allowed to happen in popular mediums don’t disappear, it happen underground, and it’s a lot harder to detect.
I get removing calls to violence, but I don’t want these tech overlords making these judgment calls.
