Think of the children!
Sorry, but when his excuse comes out the debate is over. The children will be fine, just like they have been fine for all of human history. They survived as slaves, through depression and wars, and every other thing history has thrown at them. A random group on facebook posting about a revisionist stance that almost 99.99% of people know to be insane isn't going to hurt "kids". I'm glad facebook is allowing free speech on their platform. As many have stated, this is a private entity and it is within its rights to pull the content. I'm glad they are not. I would prefer my child to see this and see how horrible these people are then pretend they don't exist.
- Mintz 17y agoI commend you for how you'd handle the situation with your child, however every situation will not unfold with a caring parents explaining to their kids how wrong these "bad men" are. It's not just kids who shouldn't be reading this material, it's all kinds of impressionable people who don't compare facts before forming opinions. It's hard to argue that this kind of hate speech will benefit more people than it will hurt.
- ErrantX 17y agoI fear there is just no reasonable way you can protect such people from, eventually, being brainwashed or deluded by someone in some way (mostly it's religions that do it). Im not saying that is an excuse not to ban the groups: but as a reason FOR banning the groups it is ignoring the elephant in the room :)
- tptacek 17y agoThere's a simple solution to this problem. We'll simply film two minutes of holocaust deniers over the noise of grinding machinery and show it to everyone every day while encouraging them to yell and scream about how upsetting holocaust denial is at the screen.
