    I’m pulled back and forth with this one. On the one hand, 4chan is a shithole that should be taken care of. On the other side, UK laws that try to govern the internet are so overly deranged shit.

      “Taken care of”, so how does this kind of perspective differ from the protection law?

        Properly dealing with hate crimes is different from controlling the internet more or less in general.

        Let the internet be free, but also keep it free from hate.

          Keep it free from hate without controlling it? Who gets the ultimate say, then? The internet or the government? If your answer is “the government” how in the world does that work without controlling the internet? What government has successfully done this before?

          “Let it be free, but control it to keep this part out.”

          That’s literally what you’re experiencing. You get to witness the flaw in the part where you don’t get to pick the entity that decides which content doesn’t belong.
