It may be trendy to hate on Facebook right now, but this kind of hand-wringing is ultimately an argument for internet censorship.

Exactly.

Which is what scares me. News lately have scared a lot of people into this censorship-supporting mentality and the idea of some sort of thought police.

To have a healthy public discourse we need to strive for is educating people so immoral acts don't happen, not implement mechanisms that could lend themselves to censorship.
