TechTakes: It's time to stop sharing hate on social media
MARCH 20 — Too many of us are unwittingly enabling purveyors of hate speech. It happens each time we retweet or share messages of a hateful nature.
Why is it a bad idea to share the contents? One reason is to respect the privacy of the deceased and also protect whomever it was addressed to. It's lazy and dangerous reporting to just publish said manifesto up in its entirety because one thing manifestos are designed to do is to help rally supporters to a cause.
4. If the content is awful enough you think the police should be involved, make a report. But if it's not that terrible, attempt to minimise its effect instead of amplifying it
