For me I would hold the social media companies more to account when it comes to hate speech and harassment online and force social media companies to do more to stop online harassment and hate speech.

    Of course there are places where the topic already strongly defines borders. Of course noone needs the opinions of nisogynists in an abuse-survivor-place. Or jews in a nazi-place or vice versa.

    In a political discussion, why shouldn’t nazis also speak their crap? Maybe i just expect too much of people to voice their opinion and still knowing when to shut their holes out of respect. Yet having the freedom to do so, but not using it.

    I really don’t wanna defend nazis or bigots. But what insights do we gain from banning them? We’d actually loose insight of . Maybe one could actually discuss with nazi his ideology and maybe even convince him that it’s bonkers.

    I held long discussions with religious nutjobs, well knowing how usually futile that is.
