No.
And, frankly, that guy should probably get some punishment too. I don't know why he was getting the poor little kid treatment.

It's gonna be a nothing burger. The republicans just want to shift the blame, not improving gun laws.
Facebook subpoena proves that they knew shit about tech, and they just wanted to use this as a show on how they are concerned, show off their moral superiority.
It's a waste of time

I agree with the sentiment of not giving them a space. More importantly by not having a safe space online to lazily incense and persist crappy thinking with anonymity, people will hopefully mature. I was a dipstick teenager and did, and said, some things I regret now that I'm older and hopefully a little more mature :)
I'm thankful I didn't have the internet as we know it in 2019 during those years. Most people can grow out of crappy thinking, but some folks can wrap their identity around <thing> so tightly that they never make the next step. Or can make the next step! Change is scary. Being included feels good.
These spaces like 8chan don't nurture growth or understanding. They make a perpetual loop of of poop possible under the guise of "community" and "freedom".
He ain't removing shit.
4chan circa 2004 was funny as hell. Nobody in mainstream humor was making those kind of jokes, and it all felt like sarcasm, antihumor, and exceptionalism. It felt smart, dangerous, and new.
But none of those gags fly with the uninitiated and suddenly you're in a position where everyone is telling you not to like the thing you like.
Then you're in the "us against them" space that causes people to act so god damn weird.
I knew a lot of people like this in the college dorms. Their obvious connection to the outside world, and culture at large, was the internet and 4chan. And none of that shit plays in real life. All of a sudden the edgy humor is vocalized and sounds more like a gross pantomime of whipsmart self awareness than the actual smug roguishness that carried the more tasteless jokes.
People who come up this way get alienated, and for the first time in history have a way to make a connection to millions of like-minded people around the world.
It's like politics: people find an echo chamber and then decide to live there.
Constitutionally protected hate speech. That's when you know your country needs a fucking rewrite.
This sheer number of things he looks like he's on a watch list for...
No more or less than reddit or google is when people post it on their platforms. Strictly speaking, 8chan didn't allow activity contrary to US law.
G
They gonna praise him. And Trump's gonna shit tweet something about them
Incels are nothing new. It isn't that hard to find manifestos from before the internet that cover all of their sentiments. I think the internet now allows for incels to create their own echo chambers where their awful ideas are validated.
I don't know what the long term solution is because those spaces can be something as transient as a chat room.
I hate the stereotype that bad guys are ugly, but man. Lately a lot of the bad guys are really setting up that confirmation bias.
Yep, USA has needed a new constitution since the industrial revolution.
