Re: So much with which to disagree!

I see where you are coming from but this case is different in the fact that the video has been repeatedly shared so the author is correct in raising the issue surrounding social media because this is probably the first time this has happened in such a way. It's also the first time the west has correctly attributed terrorism to an act against Muslims rather than the old tropes of mentally unstable or lone gunman.

I have a huge problem with censorship as well because of who ultimately decides what to censor. You can't let them do it themselves and you can't trust government so you're in a no win situation. That's why I said the rule of law should decide to start off with because there isn't really any other option. If someone could suggest an alternative then I'm all ears.
