Isn’t it best for @TeamYouTube to defend #FreeSpeech short of videos inciting aggression? Barring creators with extreme views doesn't silence them; it makes martyrs for audiences who will create echo chambers to retrench into, amplifying their distorted reality. #VoxAdpocolypse
I’d rather have hate speech out in the open for the same reason I want transparency in government; I want dangerous hate and lies exposed where it can be addressed, not hidden in the shadows where it can grow and conspire.

When I hear “out in the open” I just hear you wanting it legitimized on the same level as rational thought. It can still be found. These people write articles and books, but we don’t need to have a debate about why they think certain people are lesser.

How does “out in the open” equate to legitimized? Does being on YT really legitimize a viewpoint? I’ll buy that inviting them onto a national TV show for debate can do that, but not a democratized platform that hosts all sorts of crap indiscriminately.
