>This is the moment free speech advocates have been warning about for generations.
Yes, and the fact that people have screamed censorship at every moment for the last 20 years makes it much more difficult to take seriously.
"First they came for the terrorists, then they came for the people organizing a violent overthrow of the government" isn't "First they came for the socialists". And it certainly didn't include "Then they stuck little notices below videos of anti-vaxxers with links to medical experts".
Not everything is a matter of degree.
>Yesterday, however, a line was crossed.
Which is why we need to actually address specifically what happened yesterday, and not lump them in with violent terrorists.
I oppose (although am unsurprised) by Facebook's actions in this case, but I think this is a really weak argument against it.
