Maybe censoring is not effective? Why not to embrace any content and just make police raids when someone uploads questionable content? Is censorship solves anything?

Um... police busting down your door for uploading a video kind of is censorship. But yeah, I'm now starting to see why more and more people are just wanting to go to the censor and police raid system. A lot of this stuff people are uploading just doesn't belong in a civilized society. What started off as maybe just content on making non violent jokes about blacks or gays has morphed into showing children being disemboweled and videos of little old black or jewish ladies being gunned down in their place of worship. It's just gone too far. Probably just have to file it under: "This is why we can't have nice things"

  > maybe just content on making non violent jokes about blacks or gays The nonviolent "jokes" have a habit of escalating into real violence. If you let enough people post N-word rants without consequence and with validation from their hateful peers often enough they will egg each other on until eventually someone burns down or shoots up a church.

    Yeah, I guess that's what I'm starting to see. Like I said, "This is why we can't have nice things."

      Ultimately you can only have one absolute principle or right; if you have two, eventually they will come into conflict and you have to decide which is really absolute and which is just mostly absolute.

Can't police raid someone in another country. Not that the police are particularly interested: > Under the policy, the [animal cruelty] video was allowed to remain on Facebook. A manager told him that by leaving the video online, authorities would be able to catch the perpetrators. But as the weeks went on, the video continued to reappear in his queue, and Speagle realized that police were unlikely to look into the case.

How does that change the problems in the article? You would still need people looking at questionable content to decide when to call the police.
