Yes, I believe even terrorists should be able to say whatever they want. I'd actually prefer them shitposting on twitter rather than killing people.

- Scirra_Tom 9y agoI disagree that everyone should have a platform to say anything. Allowing hatred and violence can normalise it. Also, if someone got on a soapbox outside your house and starting preaching violence I don't think you'd be celebrating the exercising of their rights - you'd probably call the police.

Sure, except > The company is balancing a commitment to free speech against pressure from policymakers who want to see social media companies do more to fight extremism and hate speech. > [...] > Twitter last year signed a voluntary pledge in Europe to take action within 24 hours against reports of racist, xenophobic and violent content. It seems the pressure is comming from policy makers, not the house owners.
- Scirra_Tom 9y ago> It seems the pressure is comming from policy makers, not the house owners. I think you'll find that most people in society would support the motion to attempt to reduce extremism and hate speech. It's not a controversial issue nor do I in any way feel it's trampling on any rights I have.
- supergreg 9y agoI might disapprove of what they say but will fight to death for their right to say it.
- s73ver_ 9y agoSo you'd support them doing it on your lawn?
- mosaiclifestyle 9y agoBut what about when the posts are being used as a tool to vet and recruit candidates to join their cause and kill people?
- nugator 9y agoSo you don't agree with laws about hate speech?
- lawl 9y ago> So you don't agree with laws about hate speech? In fact, no.
- nthcolumn 9y agoYou think that if they can tweet they won't have to go out and murder. Let off a little steam on facebook??? Really??? Really??? Obviously they are doing both and by 'shitposting' you mean posting videos glorifying their victims being beheaded and burnt alive. I suppose you think pedophiles should be able to publish their rape vids too? Anything goes right? No rights more important than the precious!
- s73ver_ 9y agoEven if what they're saying is there to recruit others to commit acts of terrorism? And do you not believe that Twitter has the right to Freedom of Speech and Association as well?
