At various times, most social media platforms have received criticism for alleged failure to prevent distribution of copyright-infringing content. Few, however, have been threatened with widespread blocking more often than Telegram. In a row that seemed ready to boil over last year, Telegram was given an ultimatum by the Malaysian government; come to the negotiating table or face the consequences. A Malaysian minister now says that Telegram is ready to fight piracy.

Also, punching Nazis is always morally correct.

I know the idea behind the paradox of tolerance, I'm just saying that at the very least, it's not as simple as that. There are definitely grey areas, and IT IS complicated. You really miss the bigger picture if you say it's always ok to punch a nazi. I'd advise you to read up on the Spanish civil war, how that spun out of control, violence from both sides leading to more violence. You shouldn't just look at the act of punching a Nazi no it's own, you should take a helicopter view and see that a punch, will lead to counter punches, which will lead to potentially full blown civil war. You shouldn't pride yourself in taking a firm stance if doing so is ultimately counterproductive. So what's the alternative? The alternative is sitting down, having a talk, drinking some tea and talking about our differences. And simultaneously trying to take away the breeding ground for fascism, for instance an upper class that's treating society as their farm animals, getting all the riches, while looking down on them from their high horses. Punching these people and limiting their freedoms is putting oil on the fire.

You got that wrong. Nazis are already being violent; punching a nazi is not starting violence, it's a defensive measure, it's a response to violence. But sure if your response to violence is "let's sit with the nazis and make a nazi bar" then sure, you do you.
