Sooo, what's the "illegal content" here? Because I saw quite a few people calling for various forms of genocide against either party, and that's pretty illegal too.

While actual factual videos about the attack are undoubtedly newsworthy and should not be banned, claiming that promoting genocide is be in the people's interest would be a bit of a stretch, would it not?

This is what bugs me the most: "preventing" stuff by censoring it. Let people call for whatever they want on the "other" side and punish only those that perpetrate such acts that are illegal in a country or another. But let people speak their minds without any repercussion. I wager that will let a lot of people blow off some steam and then go on with their lives.
