Moderators would have silenced Malcolm X
Quote
The the whole idea of moderation of having a moderator, somebody who will silence speech. Mm hmm. Malcolm, if Twitter and Facebook had existed in 1962, Malcolm X would have been cancelled immediately.

Summary
Malcolm X never incited violence. He warned the country about what was boiling over and argued the Black community should defend itself because the government wasn't. Yet he was accused of incitement for years. Dave argues that if Twitter and Facebook had existed in 1962, moderation would have cancelled him immediately.
