To be fair, social media does facilitate both social contagion and echo chamber formation, the combination of which can form very fastidious communities.

Its not a simple issue, but I don't think putting this power in the hands of a few for-profit corporations is the right solution.

I'd rather see Facebook take steps to solve this problem than to start carving out lists of topics that are forbidden. Is there a way they can change the medium to encourage deeper thought, more meaningful conversation, and less virality? Maybe that's a better way to dampen the spread of hatred
