[liberationtech] Sacha Baron Cohen: Facebook would've let Hitler buy ads for 'final solution' | The Guardian

[Yosem Companys]

Indeed. I'm just a list moderator and organizer. Other than try to keep the
peace on the list and foster technology for development and defend the
values of the UN Declaration of Human Rights online, I don't believe it's
my place to take any positions on these issues. As a human being with all
the bounded rationality that entails, I prefer to foster robust debate,
listen, and learn from crowd wisdom.
