I just find it fascinating that someone who excuses hate speech and wants white supremacists to have a voice despite the current and historical violence, murder, and genocide connected with the movement, also has some vague moral high ground positions about doxxing and child porn. To me, White supremacists are no better. I’m not sure the difference to you since both revolve around violence and abuse of others. Anything even remotely related to violence against children = bad, but Black people or Jewish people? Eh, that’s just freedom of speech baby!
Since the link thing is troubling you, I guess we could put it this way: You’re ok with online communities of people talking about abusing children, about how children could be used as sexual objects, etc, so long as they’re not actually instructing people to go out and rape a kid, right? That’s something that should be allowed on YouTube? That’s not porn, and isn’t actually related to the act directly, it’s just speech, so it’s ok, right? That’s something you’d be happy to defend?

You sure are good at creating straw-men and putting words in peoples mouths while ignoring completely valid counter-arguments.
Again, I believe that it is better that offensive and hateful speech be called out, debunked and and mocked in the public sphere (and yes, that includes people advocating for child abuse
). Censoring and de-platforming extremists is never going to change their minds, and will possibly bring even more people to their cause due to the fact they are being "persecuted" for their beliefs. I would argue that its more dangerous to society when those people are hiding in their echo-chambers reinforcing each others toxic ideas when there is no dissenting voice there to tell them they're wrong.
You disagree. That's fine.
