The problem with this action is it seems it would apply equally to pro-democratic demonstrations in China. I am deeply uncomfortable with censoring things, and don't see any need for it on Facebook or twitter, because both literally have people you follow feed you the information. Give users more choices on the content they want to see. That is the solution here. If my friend spouts hateful speech, I can mute them. If I want to have Facebook hide content on my behalf, no problem give users settings for that. I don't see the benefit to social networks or the people on them to make these decisions unilaterally. Basically people seem to talk about this issue like there are two options: (1) moderation (2) no moderation. But the third is (3) more user controls. I strongly dislike Trump but I do believe moderation is a form of speech, and should be done sparingly.
