i know that. i know about all those "lone wolves" who have caused deaths to hundreds.

my point is, why not shut these "hate factories" down in the first place? if piratebay admins can be jailed, why not these people? why are we "defending" free speech when we know its harmful?



Pirate bay admins are out of jail since long ago and the site is still up.

Also, pirate bay never did anything harmful like 4chan, they just made some rich companies lose a little profit.


If you give up your freedom for safety, you will eventually have neither.


because free speech includes potentially harmful speech and speech someone might find offensive.
