This tired justification of "child pornography", "terrorism" and "hate speech" has been beat to death to ban just about everything these days.
Why not ban cars ? After all both paedos and terrorists use them to carry out their evil, nefarious deeds. They both also use toothpaste.
I think is perfectly fine being un-able to shutdown sites for "social justice". If it ever escalates to being a major criminal problem, a legal case can be filed and it can go through the courts before the ban-hammer falls.

- lenkite 6y agoThen it is declared illegal and simply continues to exist. If this is truly a major crime (loss of life, major financial loss), then governments have many means outside of technology to shut stuff down: old-fashioned detective work, cross-national police work, enforcement of treaty obligations or even para-military action in severe cases. Right now, a sneeze can ban you on the cloud. And the bans are just a click away - and in many cases not even that.
