8chan looks like a terrorist...site after the NZ shootings. Should the gov treat it like one?
Washington Post Fake News ^

To experts in online extremism, the performance echoed another brand of terrorism — that carried out by Islamist militants who have long used the Web to mobilize followers and incite violence. Their tone, tactics and propaganda were eerily similar. The biggest difference was their ambitions: a white-supremacist uprising, instead of a Muslim caliphate.

As Facebook, YouTube and other tech companies raced to contain the sounds and images of the gruesome shooting, 8chan helped it thrive, providing a no-holds-barred forum that further propelled the extremism and encouraged new attacks.

The Washington Post put an actual Al-Qaeda terrorist on staff.

This takedown of websites and censorship in NZ + Australia is a really important issue. maybe you could post again another article from a source where we can see more than 2 sentences of the content? Cause there’s nothing even to discuss based on these two sentences

I believe their point is that content is best provided only by reputable companies such as Facebook and YouTube.

The Ministry of Propaganda wants to shut down any site that tells the truth about Islam.
This event has given them an excuse.

There’s articles on this subject all over the place, why post from the one where you can only post such a tiny bit that it doesn’t even summarize the subject at hand?

i think you picked a great subject i hope you find another better article to post as a starting point for discussion

Fecebook should be shut down, if anything.
The killer used them to broadcast.

Facebook was complicit, regardless of how they have been anti-video since they helped this guy spread his hate around the world.

Zukerburg is being treated like The Cankle. What could go wrong?

Censorship is much worse than any of us realize. I just encountered this recently. Someone said, “Do a search for ‘girl in halter top on ten speed’.” I thought that would probably turn up ten million images because I remember what college was like decades ago. Try it. You cannot find a decent photo of a girl in a halter top on a ten speed. Which is weird. You can find images that are straight up hardcore porn with that search but no actual cleavage on wheels. It’s weird.

“Welcome to the darkest reaches of the internet”

“Embrace infamy”

What exactly did people think was going on at 8chan? Puppies and rainbows?

Sure...reliable!. Didn’t some DARPA developed software end up being used by Mark Zuckerberg for FB? And now they want to silence conservative sites!(And collect yer data!)

(So how many school shooters used facebook? Should FB be shut down?)

“Puppies and rainbows?”

And apparently dangerous free thought and speech that must be suppressed.

When ever the WP says anything then the only proper thing to do is believe the opposite of what they say.

The WP is also highly involved in treason against the United States.

and encouraged new attacks

Yet none have transpired, so are they really fostering further attacks? Not successfully apparently.

Remember.

Social Justice Warriors (and all other leftist filth)
Always lie.
Always psychologically project.
Always double down.

And never think beyond the slogan.

They’re called NPCs (Non Player Characters) because, in all truth, all they’re capable of is following a script written by someone else.
