"White ISIS" & the First Amendment

This guy actually makes a lot of sense:

There seem to be more and more and more cases of white men feeling oppressed or threatened and deciding to take matters into their own hands.  To a large degree, this ideology seems to be born and nurtured online.

Most online video services, reliable news outlets, social media platforms have vowed to remove ISIS and al-Qaeda recruiting videos as harmful to the public good.  How long until they see the inevitable similarities between all extremist ideologies, and start removing white nationalist content too?

It's difficult to talk about First Amendment freedoms -- "Free speech isn't about speech you agree with" -- without making some concessions.  What is "hate speech"?  What is "incitement"?  Pretty soon you enter that huge gray area between incitement and mere differences of opinion, between Flat Earth theorizing and anti-vaxxers, between censorship and protecting the public good.

Back when there were only three networks for getting your news, it was easy to apply the Fairness Doctrine and make sure what was presented was factual and reasonable.  But in today's democratized information society controls are impossible, and siloing your sources is much easier.  It's difficult to even DISCUSS ameliorating this current miasma while we have a Obfuscator-In-Chief sucking up all the headlines every day.

Maybe, after the person fanning the flames has been removed from office, maybe then we can begin to address ways to calm the public debate, to agree on the facts, to give weight to verifiable facts again and dismiss the baseless conspiracies.  Maybe.

I see it happening more with the PROMOTION of fact-based reporting, than with the REMOVAL of suspect dangerous speculation.  Our First Amendment needs to be protected from people who abuse it, but that's not done by censoring them.  It's done by making them ridiculous.

More Snopes, more Fact Check, more PolitiFact, Maybe these services should be given some kind of government support, or mandated free advertising & links on every political website, or something. At one point I thought Wikileaks might be trending toward this sort of watchdog position but Julian Assange seems to have gotten himself all wrapped up in Russian counter-espionage instead.

Whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden will need to be rehabilitated in the public eye, as TRUTH needs to trump politics. This won't happen anytime soon, but (hoping, hoping, hoping) maybe after Mueller redefines the public perception of Republican dirty tricks politics?
