Holocaust denial itself is foul play. You seem to think the only thing wrong that could be happening here is cheating the algorithm.

What is your definition of wrong? Is it crazy tin foil hat shit that could cause potential civil unrest or other problems? Then yes it's wrong. Is it violating the rules of law or the rules of Google? No.

The thing that's really disturbing is that rather than combat this problem on a level playing field, people are proposing changing the rules because they can't be bothered to play the game the way the rules are setup.

Once we have a system in place where we can shut down any disagreeable idea, who decides when and how to use it?
