In an appearance today on MSNBC. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D - PA 5th) related something very disturbing. Scanlon, vice-chair of the House Judiciary Committee, said a hearing on hate crimes in that Committee was live-streamed on several platforms, most prominent among them YouTube, and that the streaming resulted in responses so objectionable, obscene, offensive, reprehensible, and depraved,
that even Merriam-Webster's Thesaurus didn't have enough words to describe them.
As a result, the comments section was taken down. After which the streaming was
moved to a site sponsored by the far right. Which resulted in more than one instance of this tail-chasing exercise.
You get the drift. What are we coming to as a society?
