Disagree with most of this, given if we continue to allow these folk to tell what they think, we'll be better served to counter their patent propaganda and mountainous lies! Moreover, it'll allow us to monitor and follow the electronic trail to the source and shut it down while still unaware of our surveillance!

Prohibition doesn't work neither has censorship! All that ever did was drive the abominable aberrations underground and allow them to beaver away and unseen, in the dark! Until they strike from the blue! (Pearl Harbor!)

As always, in matters of intelligence, the last thing we need is a desperate politician or scandal hunting news hound playing our cards before they are dealt! We need electronic bloodhounds, not stupidly imposed censorship!

The post office is not responsible for the content of the mail it carries, even if it is a letter bomb. Similarly, Facebook which has nearly 2000 000 000 subscribers with more than half posting every day would be impossible for an organisation to read every post or control the content.

The only way Facebook and others can control illegal material is to rely on complaints, and even then these complaints need about 3000 reviewers each to react to hundreds of complaints to weed out the worst. Threatening to fine these companies if a post slips through is pointless.

The other issue is what are the criteria to use? Governments have the tendency to first censor out illegal activities then progress to hate speech, then apply the full PC filter on anything deemed inappropriate.

The proposal is idiotic for a number of reasons.
Clearly, depressingly, an idiocracy is flowering.
