I mean like:
If someone were to say “Lets Kill [Name of Politician]” and it gets removed, its still in modlogs. So like, I think the law still count modlogs as being on your website. So its not gonna remove legal consequences. And also, its not really gonna stop other people sympathetic to your cause from reading it from the modlogs and potentially get inspired/radicalized to do the act.
So what’s the point? Modlogs, while providing transparency, seems counterproductive.
There is a reason why it’s called “remove”. You move it to a different location, out of the normal sight, not delete it permanently.
