You're exactly right We can certainly delete/block them, but they could run their own server. What happens when open source software we make gets used by bad guys?
There's tons of examples, and fortunately, the community works to shut them down quickly.
But there *is* a difference between open tools being misused vs. actively putting resources towards hosting of hateful content.
I need a statement from Substack on this one.
