This sounds good--who could object to silencing white supremacists? But recent history suggests that this will morph in very short order into simply suppressing unpopular ideas, science even.

The telephone seems like a better model. Yes, people can do bad things with it, and law enforcement has significant resources for policing it. But we don't just turn off people's phones because we don't like them.

This is proof - forensic evidence - that he is a good white man.

Hey cool, Silicon Valley is dictating what people can think globally again.

I'm sure this will only apply to actual white supremacists, and won't just be used by outrage-mobs to deplatform people who don't agree with the Silicon Valley left-leaning conforming views.
