Dear @RonanFarrow: should tech execs also remove anything advocating violence by US, Israel & allies, or is that OK?http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/07/10/farrow-why-arent-youtube-facebook-and-twitter-doing-more-to-stop-terrorists-from-inciting-violence/?hpid=z11 …

@ggreenwald Do you not think the world should have jammed the Rwanda broadcasts? This is about direct incitement in sectarian powder kegs.

@RonanFarrow @ggreenwald Qualitatively different cases. Hate speech urging government action less likely to incite than appeals to mob.

@jdvanlaningham@RonanFarrow@ggreenwald govt call for war unchecked by media incite violence far beyond a mob when those war are conducted -
.
@Raza_inc So you want to censor government communications? Good luck with that... -
@jdvanlaningham cute but I said media leaving govt call for unchecked like in the run up to Iraq. From Tom Friedman to Fox news -
.
@Raza_inc Should also note failure of public. Anyone who looked at WMD claims KNEW it was bullshit. Ritter, AFS, Kelly etc. -
@jdvanlaningham public has a different responsibility media shapes public opinions -
.
@Raza_inc Media shapes public opinion because of the failure of citizens to critically evaluate & actively seek alternative views.

@jdvanlaningham Because democratic govts never respond to cries from the mob! This makes perfect sense…@RonanFarrow should RT.@ggreenwald -
.
@Laroquod@RonanFarrow@ggreenwald I said "less", not "never". But in any case, public apathy in democracy means gov. LEADS opinion usually -
@jdvanlaningham@RonanFarrow Exactly! Ergo we need to suppress violent incitement except when in support of violent Western govt@ggreenwald -
.
@Laroquod@RonanFarrow@ggreenwald Canada & Germany "suppress" hate speech, & yet their democracies seem to carry on somehow. -
.
@jdvanlaningham@RonanFarrow You keep debating my attempts to agree with you. Why? Is there something wrong with what I said?@ggreenwald
