The example of Daily Stormer is not a good one. The site was being used to organise alleged criminal activity up to and including murder. It was hardly a case of 'waking up in a bad mood', subsequent to the death of Heather Heyer. Incidentally, Chomsky is rather less of a libertarian when it comes to criticisms of his own work. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
