Brilliantly, sadly observed

[David Kilroy]

The tech sector's too "What, me worry?" about the problem.

Anonymity in comments threads, Craigslist, 4chan, Reddit et al permit open
promulgation of hate speech.  Most sites, when confronted about the
problem, cite free speech as a concern when the fact is they don't want to
face the added hassle of verifying accounts and making people responsible
for their words.

There's a massive network of these shitheads armed for a race riot and
no-one seems to want to stop them.
