I think liberal values like free speech, secularism, and tolerance might actually require defending from forces that abuse those values to destroy them. If this is the way to do it, then I think it’s becoming increasingly necessary. The fact of the matter is a lot of people are impressionable according to what they read and see. Society simply cannot function when there are malicious actors intentionally trying to spread divisive hate and misinformation. Make Facebook liable for hosting the kind of shit that led to January 6th.
