It makes perfect sense. If you create tools to ban certain types of speech, say intolerance of homophobia, what happens when a homophobe acquires those tools?

It makes perfect sense. If you create tools to ban certain types of speech, say intolerance of homophobia, what happens when a homophobe acquires those tools?
Because any tool will be eventually misused and abused.
- WAHa_06x36 8y agoWhat "tools" do you need to "create" to "ban certain types of speech"? What does that even mean? You don't need tools to kick nazis off your platform. And who cares what homophobes do on their platforms? Don't use them.
- Ygg2 8y agoLaws and practices that help you exclude certain opinions. Like for example in this case the Mozilla Acceptable Use Policy. Change a few words, add some statements, and it can be used against Antifa. Homophobes were just an example, you can substitute with Nazis or others.
- WAHa_06x36 8y agoThen don't change it.

- DuskStar 8y agoWhen you start summoning demons, you don't always get to choose who the demon decides to eat... Oh, you might get to point it in the direction of your enemies to begin with, sure. But eventually it'll start eating people you like, and by that point it'll have grown far too large to control.
- saithir 8y agoYou don't even need to change anything. The article already mentions promoting violence was one of the reasons. So yes, the whole point of Antifa is already unacceptable by that policy.
