Mintz··on Craigslist dropping 'erotic services' ads
I had to make sure I wasn't reading The Onion. Why does Craigslist think they're the new authority on what free speech we are and aren't allowed to express?

The correlation between the crazy medical student and Craigslist does not imply causation, the same way keeping guns from a murderer won't stop him from using a knife.

Mintz··on Facebook Remains Stubbornly Proud Of Position On Holocaust Denial
It's not about me and people like me. People with fewer advantages are less likely to grasp the scope of such a conspiracy as a denial of the holocaust and are more likely to entertain the idea.

I commend you for how you'd handle the situation with your child, however every situation will not unfold with a caring parents explaining to their kids how wrong these "bad men" are.

It's not just kids who shouldn't be reading this material, it's all kinds of impressionable people who don't compare facts before forming opinions. It's hard to argue that this kind of hate speech will benefit more people than it will hurt.

Because everyone on the internet is capable of making a rational judgment about the lies these groups are spreading.

Young, impressionable minds (kids) can't form their own opinions and deduct logical conclusions based upon presented facts; they will simply believe what they read, and they shouldn't be reading that.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a megacorp buy it and sell the rights to use its standard.

All the article is trying to say is that Twitter, for now, is a "neat trick" to quickly disseminate information to a lot of people. Sounds just like email back in the day, eh? In the future it'll become another communication tool we take for granted, just like email today.
