I’m not going to yell or scream. I’m just going to appeal to the profit motive. If you and other content platforms don’t get serious about this, one day in the near future there will be governments that will make you get serious about this.

Don’t wait for governments to force you to act. Do the right thing now and save yourself the trouble. Stop kicking the can down the road.

Or maybe there's this thing called a first amendment that allows people to say almost whatever they want. It's childish to want to ban people from YouTube or Twitter because they said mean words.

Let’s chat about that. A) there are limitations on free speech especially around inciting violence, as well as many other situations: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exceptions …pic.twitter.com/WR6HNoMIMS

B) Free speech applies only to the gov. in the public square. It’s meant to keep the gov. from suppressing speech acts in public space. It has never applied to private space. Youtube is not the US gov., nor is its platform the public square.

Not denying that. But unless these privately held platforms start taking their own rules seriously, governments are going to start making them crack down on people like Steven Crowder who instigate trolls.

If someone can build a legal case that Crowder is inciting harassment they’d have a chance at legal action, because incitation to harassment and violence isn’t protected by 1A. And the more reports of various creators having troll armies, witting or not, the bigger the risk.
