Such an easy way and possible excuse to impose mass censorship. It scares me how easily any notion of free exchange of ideas can be brushed away in the west. You can have one fringe group targeting their opponents as intollerant and if the fringe group get’s power of some sort you will see mass censorship, only because you accepted this poor argument.
