This is a false dichtomy. We should spend time building an inclusive, diverse and fair society that reduces the amount of hate speech overall and the net impact of hate speech. Then you don't need to censor anyway.
- Eridrus 8y agoSure, but this article is about technical solutions, not social solutions, and technical solutions face this trade-off.
- Sir_Substance 8y agoThis thing that you see as a problem that desperately needs a solution, I do not see as a problem. So I don't see the trade-off. There are lots of incredibly racist people out there using email. Email does not need a solution to prevent racist people using it.
- otabdeveloper1 8y agoTotally. If all the good people come together a kill all the bad people (maybe put them in special places and call them 'camps', need to think a bit more about this), then the world will be a paradise without crime. (Like murder, for example.)

Then you don't need to censor anyway. So right, society would just be perfect if we could all think the same way! Terry Pratchett said it best, "Pulling together is the aim of despotism and tyranny. Free men pull in all kinds of directions."

Then you don't need to censor anyway. You could literally apply that kind of arguments to any problem: - gun violence vs gun control - war vs peace - crime vs police It is too idealistic and ignores the presence of bad actors.
