But...[users] posted slightly different versions to evade detection...What can and should be done about extremist group accounts? Left unchecked, their feeds spread a violent message and rally support. But closing down all the feeds is a nearly impossible, even futile chore...There are also questions of censorship, with some arguing that the answer to savagery is sunlight, not darkness, and worries about regulatory overreach that could severely curtail free speech...Another site adopted by militants...JustPaste.it...has seen a surge in IS activity...[The] site’s owner, Mariusz Żurawek, says...[the site] deleted a slew of graphic IS postings.
