Hear someone powerful told Musk off for being arrogant. :D
Hear it's about government's right to censor content they don't like. D:
It is a video of an Australian citizen being stabbed to death and they are doing it because they dont want the video to encourage other psychos to do the same thing.
I just want to recontextualize it because free speech warriors have a tendency to disambiguate the thing they are talking about.
And also the videos were being used to incite people to retaliate. Immediately after the attack, a rioting mob seeking vigilante justice surrounded the church, trapping the paramedics (who were treating the assailant) and the assailant inside. The mob apparently injured dozens of police, damaged about a hundred cars, including writing off a number of police cars, and some people armed with illegal weapons climbed a ladder to try to get into the church.
