> The video of the 757s hitting the WTC isn't purged from the internet, why should this video be?

That's different though. This video has been released by the perpetrator. Do you think beheadings videos released by ISIS should be easily accessed by anyone on Facebook?

I think they should. Hiding reality from people does not do any good.

Peta wouldn't release "inside the factory farm" footage if it was an effective way to galvanize an audience.

Then you'd just turn these social media platforms into the best recruiting tool for terrorist groups of all kinds with complete control of the narrative.

No, if you're going to be recruited by this, you're already fucked in the head.

But showing this to your aunt who's wishy washy about gun control will probably disgust her into action.
