That's... not what this is about, though?
This isn't about mandated reporting, it's about funneling impressionable people towards extremist content.
That means that the government is injecting itself on deciding what "extremist" is. I do not trust them to do that wisely. And even if I did trust them, it is immoral for the state to start categorizing and policing ideologies.
Do you understand you're arguing for violent groups instigating a race war?
Like, even if you're ok with white people doing it, you're also saying ISIS, MS13, any fucking group can't be labeled violent extremists...
Some "ideologies" need to be fucking policed
Someone wants to start with yours, and they have more support than you know. Be careful what you wish for.
Guess we shouldn't ever do anything about anything, ever.
Big difference between policing actions and policing thoughts. Declaring some thoughts as verboten and subject to punishment or liability is bad.
It's insane you're being downvoted by people who would be the first ones silenced.
You really think they're going to use this for himophobes and racists instead of anyone calling for positive socia6 change?
Did you not see any of history?
