Doing this with temporary "paint" too.
Seems pretty neat way of conveying a viewpoint to a company (bringing the stuff to the humans, instead of letting the response go through the corporate filter)
People respect being able to directly confront prominent people in the world on an equal footing, without instantly being shut down if their comment is deemed too controversial.
Censoring these ideas doesn't make them go away. Leaving them up and allowing the community to debate might even change a person's mind for the better.
Define "direct". Also, do you even speak German? What's there to debate about starting to gas Jews again, and other such crap? This doesn't have shit to do with ideas, this has to do with fucked up childhoods or brain chemistry or both. Doesn't make them more victims than their actual victims.

What? People block each other at the drop of a hat, and Twitter not censoring it doesn't change that, it's not something they can help. So you gain nothing, because the bottleneck is people being uptight about actual ideas (and screaming "Judenschwein" is just another, much worse form of being afraid of thought) which they already are -- and you lose not letting Nazis rampage free, using the tools of people they would prefer to kill for being too intelligent or not fucked up enough.
