This can't be fixed with the automated methods that google and facebook are using now, given that they really only care about income.

Unless you are some kind of free speech rights absolutist it's hard to argue with the examples in this article. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/10/googl...

The 'free speech' guarantee in the US has to do with the government, not with companies or your fellow citizens.

Argue what?

That Google should manually de-list 4-Chan?

No, that's not hard to argue with at all. There are plenty of good reasons they should not do that.

BTW, that article is despicable. It basically takes a tragedy and then goes and finds some obscure links as argument why the publication and it's fellows should be the sole source of available information.
