    “Taking on violent hate and extremist groups is among the most dangerous work there is, and we believe it is also among the most important work we do,” interim CEO and president Bryan Fair said in a statement.

  • I mean, if there are people who are willing to put multiple lives on the line for the sake of 1st Amendment absolutism, how are they different from the NRA on account of the 2nd Amendment absolutism.

    Can we at least agree that crimes are prosecuted, those committed against members of minorities, and their speech is not actively suppressed by online lynching mobs? I haven’t seen many bills targeting these well-documented crimes, that push women out of mainstream platforms, and even lead some queer youth to suicide. They don’t care much about internet safety and free speech then, do they.
