Scientists have ethics committees, but what do we turn to in these situations? Undoubtedly, many of us would argue that free speech is one of the best things that has come out of the internet, and open source and decentralised software is often created for this very reason. On the other hand, it gives extremists a platform for communication. It's a fine balancing act and I'm not sure there is enough debate around these sorts of issues.
