It's weird you got downvoted; you're correct, that chat bot was spewing hate speech at full blast, it was on the news everywhere. (For the uninformed: it didn't get unplugged for being "PR-unfriendly", it got unplugged because nearly every response turned into racism and misogyny in a matter of hours)
Putin accused Ukrainians of being nazis and racists as justification to invade them. The problem with censorship is your definition of a nazi is different than mine and different than Putin's, and at some end of the spectrum we're going to be enabling fascism by allowing censorship of almost any sort, since we'll never agree on what should be censored, and then it just gets abused.
That's not how it works, at all. Russia didn't become a dictatorship after censoring fascists. Quite the contrary, in fact. By giving a platform to fascism, you risk losing all free speech once it gains power. That's what's happening in the US.
Censorship is not a way to dictatorship, dictatorship is a way to censorship. Free speech shouldn't be extended to the people who actively work against it, for obvious reasons.

Okay but then we disagree on what behaviors count as working against free speech, and then we're creating a legal basis to disallow free speech, which is horrible. For example I believe your comment to be against free speech ideals, which by your logic means we should legally restrict your right to free speech and not allow you to post what you just post.
> When they finally rendezvoused, Fuller noticed the swastika tattoo on the middle finger of Furholm’s left hand. It didn’t surprise him; the recruiter had made no secret of his neo-Nazi politics. Within the global network of far-right extremists, he served as a point of contact to the Azov movement, the Ukrainian militant group that has trained and inspired white supremacists from around the world, and which Fuller had come to join.
I don't. Microsoft decided that their tool is useless and removed it. That's not censorship. If you are not capable of understanding it, it's your problem, not mine.
