You can't blame trolls for being trolls and bullies for being bullies if platforms like Twitter do little to discourage them.
I think this most certainly is a free speech issue. Just had a Facebook conversation with a friend who was so upset about some fake “incel” movement that he was calling for an end to all “unmoderated forums” like Reddit. Americans are being severely dumbed down by foreign powers.

With all due respect, just because someone does not agree with you does not mean they are ignorant or stupid. It simply means they have a different perspective (that you may be missing). I for one do indeed favor moderated forums with clear and fair guidelines.

I would like to ban all the people blaming Russia for the work of American trolls, but I can’t, and I’d rather wake people up than create another hypnosis.

To this friend of mine, “incel” movement participants weren’t trolls with persona management botnets, they were fledgling racist neo-Nazis.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
