I don't agree with the ban but showing the manifestos just encourages others like the Christchurch shooter did with his message, the best way to defeat terrorism is not to give them an ounce of coverage imho, but this was twitter, not the news, so I don't support it.

Its one of these things where you either go full-ban, or full-coverage, theres no in-between possible because as soon as you accept some, the political biases of the publisher let them promote some crimes & censor others. Thats never going to lead anywhere good.

Case in point, an arab child drowns in the Mediterranean and the whole world gets a photo op of the dead kid strategically posed on the edge of the surf. In the meanwhile, dead kids in france run down by a truck of peace terrorist attack are censored.. or pictures of David Hogg laughing and happy the day after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Broward County getting purged from twitter and FB because surely a particular narrative has to be pushed with that event and a happy david really is countermessage and accounts reposting it get banned.

All of the above being leftist tampering but to be fair I'd oppose the right doing this as well if/when it happened.
