Good they should hide. We don't want these people preaching radicalism in our public spaces, where they can start recruiting more people. They should be banned from the mainstream internet and go back to the crappy little geosites they were stuck in until 2014.

All I see on facebook these days are apologists and racists as the top comment on any news site. I see them on my twitter feed. I even see them in dating apps. Nobody wants them there, as they usually encourage a long chain of comments expressing the fact that they're unwelcome. Sometimes one or two are flagged and banned. A week later, another little network is built up again and the loud and extreme few are handed a megaphone. We need better filtering algorithms for this nonsense that operate on a macro level. You can call it censorship if you want. I'm not saying to make it impossible for them to communicate their message, they just should be relegated to doing so from one account at a time.

This didn't work out so well, http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2016/11/17/twitter_i...

This effort is half hearted at best, disorganized in practice https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-safety/controversial...

It's been vigilantes doxxing that have had the largest impact, however what they do is illegal and against the terms of service of the apps they're trying to rid of hateful speech. http://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium-1.806719

I would love to see more tech leaders actually build intelligent solutions to weeding out hatespeech on the internet.

Let them go underground, that's where they belong.
