It's been pretty widely dissected and explained why he said and wrote all of that idiotic internet leetspeak in his "manifesto". There is also a reason why many of these folks who finally decide to kill people also consume "alt-lite" content like Ben Shapiro / Jordan Peterson etc, it isn't a coincidence. Regulating that and keeping people from spreading racist propaganda, or content that just exists to undermine democracy is fine in my book.

I tried googling "why did christchurch use leetspeak" and didn't get results. I presume it was to get more views from incels and because he found it funny. Not because he was radicalized by the Navy Seal copypasta. With Peterson and Shapiro I feel like you're trending toward a standard of "anything terrorists like to read, but I don't, should be censored". They're close to as popular as, say, Rachel Maddow, which means almost all of their readers are peaceful.

Also Shapiro / Peterson should just be banned because they are racists and say racist things.
