I think the future of controversial speech is in closed, private groups on large platforms. Those fly under the radar and can escape public pressure, which has the side effect of easing pressure on Facebook to halt the "controversial" discussions. This is why violent protests will likely continue to be primarily organized on high profile platforms like Facebook.

- Pfhreak 6y agoRead up on the Fundamental Attribution Error and reread my post. I'm not coming after you in the way you think. I just said that your post was low signal. I neither said nor implied that I believe or disbelieve you. It's not a matter of belief at all, frankly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error
