What deeply frustrates me about it is that a lot of people who would otherwise be big advocates for FOSS software get completely turned off by creeps like this being absolutely everywhere.
Then they never believed in it to begin with. Freedom comes with a cost.
It's not surprising that people who have unacceptable views seek out the freest medium to express them. That's always been the case.
You need the crazies to be crazy for alternate media to exist.
