> However on the internet with regards to what normally amounts to pointless shit that people post on the internet. I am okay with 100 good post being automatically removed it if means 1 bad post is also removed.

If you don't like Internet then just get off it!

You probably never noticed, but some people have this thing called self-actualization. By removing good posts you step on it with your greasy foot. By removing controversial posts you also step on it. That's a lot of damage that you did to innocent people right here.

We've got to get off HTTP just that people like you never have the chance to step into other people's homes, decide what they can and can't post and view.

We're not talking about "controversial posts" here. It's perfectly legal to be a Nazi, even if Facebook might prefer you not be a Nazi on their platform.

This is about child abuse material. In no way is that being illegal "controversial".
