      I didn’t disagree with the article, I was adding additional input.

      The cops and the courts should be working to protect the victims of KF and go after the perpetrators with every legal tool at their disposal. We should be giving them the resources and societal mandate to do so. Solid enforcement of existing laws is something that has been sorely lacking for harassment and abuse online, and it’s one of the reasons people turn to censorship strategies. Finally, we should enact strong data privacy laws that target, among others, the data brokers whose services help enable doxxing.

      As it states, no one is enforcing the laws. There is almost no one actually going after online hate speech, and no one steps in until someone gets killed. So law enforcement needs to start policing these things. Until then, censorship is the solution to these issues, though I agree that ISPs should not be the ones responsible.

      Seriously, it is a really good take on the problem. Tier 1 ISP shouldn’t have that kind of say in how traffic flows.
