And the same argument has been made about child porn and etc. Eg, people have said we can't use encryption because of it's ability to enable child predators. So yea, the power and ability to suppress content based on illegal activity has downsides - it's a necessity. We can't strictly avoid the topic entirely and allow everything everywhere for very obvious reasons. So if we're not allowing everything everywhere then we agree that there are lines, and those lines have to be drawn. So we're already on the "slippery slope", we're just debating where exactly to draw the lines. To me this stance from Facebook is one of the very few things i agree with from them. Much of the uninformed viral and outage based discourse is doing nothing but harming humanity in my eyes and tools to spread it are helping no one. We're in an information war time and while i support controversial information about race, gender identity and any other "hot topics"; i definitely do not support toxic discourse on these subjects that don't even attempt to inform or constructively discuss.
