I think the point is more that there's nuance in preventing speech (like censorship) and punishing the actions as a result of speech. I get that some would call those the same thing.

In the context of 8chan, I think there's a difference between allowing people to say whatever they want online and punishing the people that use that freedom to incite violence.

The part where it gets blurry to me is the hateful rhetoric that doesn't directly call for violence, but the only logical conclusion of the position is genocidal or otherwise racial violence. Talking about "invaders" or "American cities under foreign occupation" for example.

Honestly, I'd rather have a platform I can monitor for threats than ban them and be left in the dark. :)

The more we censor, the less we know, the farther from the enemy we are.

You have to understand, we don't live in a go lucky happy world, thousands to millions of people die every day. Livestream vs Youtube.

The more statistics we can get before a threat occurs, the better. I really don't understand why "normal web" doesn't grasp this concept.
