Facebook implemented automation to ban any reposts of the NZ footage. Facebook routinely bans extremists groups.
8ch actively caters to white supremacists, by letting /pol/ be the second largest board there and not be actively moderated to combat hate speech. 8ch administrators did nothing to prevent hate speech from becoming a large chunk of their discourse. As such, people were looking towards 8ch's providers to do something about this, as it has been the case on the Internet since forever (ISP not reacting to abuse requests concerning their customers? Okay, we have to contact their upstreams then).

- dangxiaopin 7y agoAnd I assume you are a "net neutrality" advocate at the same time?
- toyg 7y agoThey are not exclusive - this was the straw that broke the camel's back.
