Sure, I was mostly speaking hypothetically. The reality right now is that for this sort of false flag attack to work the speaker must be deeply unpopular, especially with media figures. This is why due process is important to prevent inequitable treatment, but woke ideology is ironically demanding that companies abandon due process if this would be harmful to shareholder value. The idea that left-wing activists would be flirting with Friedmanite shareholder primary would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. So much for corporate social responsibility!

So you would support laws that make fascist content and cyberbullying illegal, in order to take the burden of enforcement away from private corporations and into the hands of the government? Or are you advancing this rule of law angle in bad faith because your real motivation is to keep a nexus of cyberbullying and hate like KF up and running?
You're actually excluding a priori that I could actually defend KiwiFarms here in good faith? That's just sad.

This is reminiscent of dealing with someone who thought we needed to close mosques after 9/11.
