This is a great article.
> Do we need better education and mental health care so that fewer people are attracted to a sociopathic forum like Kiwi Farms? Yes. That too
I think another part of this is the extreme censorship of discussion going on currently.
All social media is governed by American leftist view, which definitely doesn't to apply to the entire country let alone the whole world.
A lot of political movements that California supports basically have their oppositions completly blocked for promoting "hate", you are forced to accept it, and there is no way to say no, because you will just get banned.
and that basically leads people to go to alternative networks that because they are compromised of people banned from mainstream social networks, end up being an extremest cesspol.
> The rest of society — including the government and law enforcement — seems unwilling to do anything, so the next in line is Cloudflare. That’s not a great situation, but it’s reality. And reality sometimes makes principles difficult. Especially when lives are at stake.
But how do you force the government to act? Things need to get heated to the level they have to actually intervene, other than that nothing will change.
On the other hand, if tech companies want the government to act, then things like the Indian regime banning certain Twitter accounts isn't unexpected, and they will try to ban anyone exposing their treatment of Muslims.
I'm going to reiterate this
> When we’re in a place where the only way to deal with those seeking to harm others is to demand that the fire department stand aside so we can burn down their house, we’re in a very, very dark place.
