People promoting violence usually means targeted violence. Proposing violence against a specific person or group of people. A protest that happens to have people in that become violent and then those some people posting online is a completely different situation than a bunch of Nazis saying we need to exterminate the Jewish people.
- lostmsu 6y agoAka let's ban promoting bad violence. Who decides bad or good?
- dencodev 6y agoMaybe I'm making my point poorly. Allowing violent people to post online is fine. Allowing them to post violent content is bad. I don't care who the person is. I care what they post. As long as they're not advocating harm to a specific person or group of people it's fine. I'm okay with people saying racist things from a free speech perspective (it's still despicable). I'm not okay with them saying people should go burn down the synagogue in downtown Seattle.
- lostmsu 6y agoTBH, this point is poor. Violence and therefore promotion of violence are simply necessary in some situations. The former is even ingrained in the U.S. constitution.
