        This just cracks me up....

        The transphobic content targeting events such as Patterson’s is just a subset of the hateful content about Jews, Muslims, women, Black people, Asians and others that has internet safety advocates and an increasing number of lawmakers in the United States and elsewhere pushing for tougher regulations that would force tech companies to do more.

        In other words, much like Bill C-10 in Canada which needs to be shot down in flames, the answer is to censor the internet. The only problem with this is that these measures are often (at least in Canada) taken too far and shut down anything that does not fit the narrative that the government wants to push.

        Ladies and gentlemen... Welcome to communist China. Merely censoring offending content won't do a damn thing to curb this kind of behaviour. It will only make this kind of thing get taken to other platforms where it will be tolerated. What needs to happen instead is instead of getting the tech companies to shut it down, hate crime charges need to be brought forward and the individuals in question need to be prosecuted on them.
