Indeed. Which standard do you, gentle Slashdot read, want: * Videos that people want to put up, and that people want to see; or * A curated selection of videos that are best for you, as judged by your betters
We know that oppressive governments the world round demand the second option. Which should you demand?
"To know who rules you, ask: who am I not allowed to criticize in public? Those are your rulers."

See, but here's the thing. Irresponsible speech that promotes violence will always lead to suppression. You 4chan jackoffs knew this a long time ago, but thought that it was more important to be edgelords and have lulz than it was to be responsible. So now, you reap the whirlwind and spoil it for every
A society that can't take edgelords in stride is pretty damn useless. Maybe the answer is to realize that humor, tasteless or otherwise, is unimportant, and let is pass.

And if it had no real world consequence then I would be on your side. However, hate crimes have been spiking and it turns out some edgelords aren't really being edgy at all. Should we just take people being murdered because of these internet clowns in stride?

Hate Crimes spiked with a frequency parallel to the trust ratings dropping for left-leaning media publications and "journalism" to a historical all-time low beneath Congress of all things, while the ragebait articles of the SJWs increase in frequency only to be followed by hate crimes rather than following in their toes. 4chan ain't doing shit to plant seeds of hate, you idiots who were once trolled by it and now divert narratives from actual sources and roots that create terrorism to a bunch of meme spouting children are the ones planting the seeds with your stupidity. The stupidity of censoring irrelevant websits to divert from a discussion of what makes a terrorist as opposed to where they are free to book their stay. Taliban are perfectly fine being terrorists from inside caves, the issue isn't the caves but what made them Taliban in the first place. Having this discussion would be inconvenient for your ignorant and small-minded world views though which may see themselves challenged and even cracked.

I see no problem here (except with some employees who are complaining, who should probably be fired).
