      1. In terms of cultural context, this terrorist in New Zealand is 'from' 4chan, 8chan, and Twitter at least as much as they are from Australia. 4chan and 8chan are cultural locis and they are institutionally white supremacist and Islamophobic. @v21/1106474212489871360

      Just like YouTube and YouTubers allowing paedophile rings to operate in the open on the platform (thewonderofitall.xyz/all-units-episodes/2019/2/27/calling-all-units-i-have-no-blood-on-my-hands-i-have-blood-on-my-hands), the owners and users of 4chan, 8chan, and Twitter have abdicated their responsibility to create cultural spaces free from hate.
