Absolutely not. That might be the absolute world's last content that should be touched.
- hungie 2y agoCome off the hyperbole. You don't believe that. I guarantee you you can think of content that's something we should moderate less. What about opposition candidates spreading truthful information. You'd really moderate the truth away before you'd moderate blatant misinformation?
- robertlagrant 2y agoFair point - I mean opposing speech in general, and not just that specific phrase. I wasn't clear.
