> Who they choose to give a voice to says a lot about them.

I don't think they're choosing to give anyone specific a voice. I think they're choosing not to make judgement calls.

Once you start blocking anyone, you've weakened your ability to refuse to block others. You'd see greater demands for blocking Wikileaks, censoring articles like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_prime, enforcing Europe's right-to-be-forgotten, etc. on the basis of "well you were willing to block ISIS".
