> Providing information about how to source drugs (and even encouraging people to take them) is not the same as drug trafficking.

And coincidentally posting dox is not the same as SWATing someone.

Anti-KF people will say they're close enough and anti-Keffals people will say the same about the DIY HRT website & marketplaces it lists.

> So how do you know historical events happened?

I go to the Smithsonian archives and read the source material in Latin

Anyway, back to the point. I whole heartedly believe that exposing someone like Nick Fuentes on a livestream is a net positive that turns more people away from him than gains him followers.

It's a cynical person who thinks platforming bad ideas will make them spread. Sunlight.. disinfectant...

> I'd only read from journo pieces making vague accusations (referencing other journo pieces)

Do I just take journos word for it? Hell no.

The best, recent example I have is Nick Fuentes. I'd only read from journo pieces making vague accusations (referencing other journo pieces) that he's a white nationalist, or seen clips of him trolling CPAC, so I've always been curious what he's actually about.

Seeing a mainstream interview with Louis Theroux and debate livestream with Destiny quickly outs him as a white nationalist with an incoherent worldview.

If the only way to hear his ideas, directly from his mouth, are on his platform in a dark corner of the internet you're only going to get his one-sided propaganda.

I don't get what you're saying. Is there some unique intersection between the software they develop and social/political issues?

Yeah an EC2 engineer switched over traffic to a backup network connection that had significantly less bandwidth, triggering cascading failures.

Could be an interesting case. reddit is already doing this for 'real time' conversations (via F5 refresh) in respective subreddits during games, speeches, conferences, etc.

Yeah it's worse. Using a privileged position to discredit opposition under the cover of "lolz."

> Better than someone knocking on your door or calling during supper though right?

Please don't pitch yourself as a lesser of two evils. And I can at least cuss out / slam the door on a solicitor. And they aren't going to wake me up in the middle of the night.

Follow up question: do you respect the 'Do not call' registry?
