"He has never murdered anyone" "Are you referring to the one incident where he shot a racist hater and then vowed to never murder again?"

All I'm saying is that we won't know until they come under pressure again

That's also true of people who haven't murdered anyone yet, though.

Whom do you trust more? The person who did something and vowed to never do it again, or the person who didn't vow anything? I tend to prefer the former.

When it comes to murdering someone, I'm going to prefer the person who has never murdered anyone yet.

When it comes to service providers, I would tend towards your direction. They did a thing that had conflicting ethics on each side, weighed the outcome and their ethics, and then made a hard decision for the future. What they did could be reversed, too, and didn't cause much permanent damage.

Murdering someone is very permanent and should take a lot more initial consideration.

this metaphor is absurd. the actual murderers here are the contributors to the banned sites, nor cloudflare, and there were a lot more than 1 murders.
