This is a slippery slope which, as ever, is wrapped up in "Won't somebody think of the children?!" type outrage. Isn't the whole point of an allegedly free society that we're supposed to be able to hold opposing and unorthodox opinions? Stormfront, with its repellent views and its discussion forum with the collected IQ of a cashew nut is just an obvious 'low hanging fruit' target. But what's really being asked for here? Of late, seemingly intelligent people are increasingly demanding that Google and Facebook [and others] start censoring 'fake' news and 'fake' search results. So we want to swap a world where we occasionally see controversial or unorthodox views for one where anything that might offend someone is filtered out and entire future generations grow up with a collective weltanschauung decided upon by two or three huge capitalist American corporations –and no opposing views are tolerated? That sounds a bit like something else to me... but, having got this far, I'm not going to invoke Godwin's Law at the last minute!
