There's no perfect answer to this problem, but censoring information just because it might reach a few unstable people is not the way to go.

The manifesto is a window into the mind of the killer. It's a distasteful document, but a strong culture that trusts its people would encourage citizens to read it and understand the danger.

As it stands, authorities really don't trust people and instead prefer to nanny them by deflecting from any issues that lurk below the surface for fear of empowering another lone attacker.

This is a poor strategy because it will surely backfire. Instead, frank discussion is most conducive to lasting peace. But after seeing the response of the NZ government I hold little hope of that happening.

I think the American legal stance on this is right - it is not up to governments or people like you to decide what media other people consume, just because you fear they might be negatively influenced.

If you and everyone in your country decreases their consumption and number of offspring then the slack will taken up by others until the environment once again bears as much as it can.

I also use the DNS66 app on Android devices to set my DNS and block ads when I'm using a mobile network.

I don't have any specific thoughts on what policies should be followed, just a sense that a slower and more organic course is preferable. Even then, reactionary forces will always exist.

In particular the Soros-sponsored Open Society Foundation has had many dozens of meetings with the EU Commission and a hand in forming multicultural-based policies.

My own thought is that this political agenda is naive and may result in a backlash that ends up achieving the opposite of what he intends. There are already signs of this happening.

If not rooted then use NetGuard (as mentioned in another comment). It sets up a local VPN on your phone to filter traffic.

Other apps also use the local VPN approach for different reasons, e.g. DNS66 allows you to specify your own DNS servers. You'll only be able to use one VPN app at a time.

And Facebook does this without a hint of recognition that such imposition will be (and already is) being used as a political weapon against dissident voices.

That's hubris.

The hair style is both a signal to others and a modest act of rebellion against societal norms. Modest because similar hairstyles have been around for decades in older countercultures.

Silicon Valley's left wing bias is well established. There's no way companies like Facebook can censor impartially.

Aside from that, I disagree that PC is primarily intended to protect minorities. It is an attempt to control language and therefore people's thoughts, which is insidious. If one result of PC is less negative discrimination the other results are too high a price.

So the power a person/institution has should be be inversely proportional to the amount of privacy they enjoy. We can start by only voting in politicians that wear personal cameras a la 'The Circle'. (Some police already do this while on duty.)

Of course the irony is it would take a kind of power to make this happen.

Silicon Valley social media companies are effectively public forums on private land.

Any large private platform or network should be subject to the First Amendment, because most of them don't operate primarily in a free market. Instead they are monopolies that enjoy network effects and as a consequence are easily strong-armed by governments.

If Facebook's stock keeps declining and it ends up a shadow of its current self then it can be released from this obligation.

I know being barred from the networks that most people use will be an inconvenience for you, but it's for the good of society that people like yourself aren't able to easily disseminate these sorts of ideas.

In fact, I know a guy with power and influence that can expedite your blacklisting, so I think I'll mention your name to him.

Please do not resist, comrade. If you behave we may remove you from the list after a suitable number of years.

The best ethical option is to eat organic foods grown/reared by yourself or someone close by, but that option doesn't scale so well in our current economy.

But there is space for ethical contemplation during an arms race.

It starts before then. Babies only a few days old show a preference for Duplo or dolls depending on their biological sex.
