that social media should be shut down and prosecuted for damages from the stochastic terrorism. Lives have already been lost. Security cost skyrocket. Make the involved social media pay monetarily for the lives, security, etc.

What is occurring on social media (and in some churches and media, Fox et al) is arson, not a free speech issue.

Think of what these asshats are doing to the well-being of their own children.

Can't say I am optimistic.
