  So first of all yes, free speech is important. If it were to be curtailed along political lines, my work would be cut long before any of these platforms. But free speech isn't quite relevant here. The first amendment does not provide a right to a platform or an audience. Would they eventually find other outlets? Of course. But if your ideology is regularly getting people killed I absolutely want you to be handing out fliers at the mall, not sending out links to your anonymous discord or 8chan. Getting help for these troubled men is a priority, but right now there simply isn't a mechanism for it -- we help those who seek it in America. Finding out who these posters are in the first place is a chore on its own and has been more effectively accomplished by networks of antifascists than by our well-funded intelligence departments, to give you some perspective. So I think that goal will come with more resource allocation to this particular problem, once it's acknowledged. And the current administration does not acknowledge it.
