      Yeah there is. It’s called public safety. The January 6th attempted coup was (poorly, but still) planned on Twitter, Facebook and Parler. If those three had been better moderated when it comes to hate speech and misinformation, the 9 people who died as a result of it would probably be alive today.

        Lmao Jesus, if one pointless riot is your reasoning that everyone should be monitored and censored, you just simply don’t believe in basic rights. Also nice falsely inflated death count. 1=/=9

          one pointless riot

          First of all, there was very much an explicit point of that insurrection and it was far from an isolated event. Don’t play even more ignorant than you actually are.

          is your reasoning

          No, it’s called an example. Do you know what an example is or do I have to explain THAT incredibly obvious thing to you as well?

          everyone should be monitored and censored

          Holy strawman, Batman! Nobody said anything even remotely approaching that.

          you just simply don’t believe in basic rights

          Of course I do, you colossal idiot, I just don’t think it’s a good idea to provide a platform for use as a propaganda and recruitment tool of hate groups and grifters.

          nice falsely inflated death count. 1=/=9

          Pretending that Ashli Babbitt was the only one killed is so ridiculous as to be tantamount to pro-insurrection propaganda.
