the primary reason I'm fine with terrorism is related to how broadly it can be defined and how some people like to expand its definition to silence those they don't like, same with naziism and how some like to associate anti israilism with nazism. the government should leave the regulations of speech up to the platform and treat them like public bulliton boards (freely accessible to everyone and barely regulated)
You know what's terrorism, what I'm talking about when I say terrorism? Calling bomb threats on schools and hospitals because they support trans rights, talking about or encouraging people to do that. Shit like what LibsOfTiktok does is terrorism. These are the kinds of Terrorism you see on Steam, in forums, games, and live chats, awful shit that would not be considered acceptable by any decent person. It would be one thing if we were talking about nuanced takes discussing the war on Israel and people on Steam were being accused of antisemitism over "anti israilism" but that's not what's happening there. Most people on Steam discussing that are in fact being antisemitic, are in fact attacking Jewish people and Judaism, not the israeli government.
When someone points out terrorism on Steam they're talking about the death threats and bomb threats, when they talk about Steam being racist and antisemitic they aren't taking about anti-israel takes, they are talking about hatred towards jews and people of racial ethnicities. The situation here isn't nuanced it is very much the clear cut 4chan shit.
