The problem there is that "history is written by the victors" and until they decide you're "one man's freedom fighter" you're de facto "another man's terrorist".

Taking steps to stop violence before it begins makes more sense than using hindsight to judge the merits of the violence.

IMO.

There is no merit to violence. Those who indulge in violence and other law breaking should suffer consequences. No-platforming however has no role in that.

I doubt if these platforms or anyone have the ability to determine legality of posts before they are made.
