Indeed. It is.

Thats a pretty cynical view of humanity - should we ban motorcycles because they are costing peoples lives? What is so bad about letting people make their own choices?

> are you OK with hate speech on social media

I believe in "free speech".

For example, is it even possible for you to tell me an objective definition of "hate" speech or "misinformation"? I bet you can't since it ends up being whatever Alphabet, or Meta's truth and morality departments agree on.

Without ways to express yourself the internet will just turn into TV - where people who agree with the megacorps get to hear their own echos all day.
