What exactly do you propose to do about hate speech, racism, bigotry and fascism being spread on social media as propaganda, ignore it and hope no one sees it and gets radicalized? We’re already seeing people become terrorists after being radicalized by Internet media. and you would have us just hope we’re not in the line of fire when it happens again, I guess?
I literally showed you an example where someone was radicalized by hate speech on the internet. Here is another example. I can keep providing them if you would like.

And it’s not just an American problem.
Again, should we just ignore that and hope we’re not in the line of fire?
This is a false dichotomy.
