“Hate speech” is a made up Marxist euphemism. A dog whistle for aspiring censors. There is no such thing as hate speech. There is only speech that particular people don’t like.

I don't even pay attention to these platforms anymore. I don't have any idea what happens on these them. I don't even know what she defines as hate speech. I don't know why countries like the US and Brazil are banning these platforms. I don't even care. We have freedom tech.
That’s how you are supposed to handle these types of situations. I don’t know how old you are but people were tougher 20 years ago.

My brain processed "haccp" on that bord at first before reading.
She broke the law by inciting and encouraging others to burn down hotels housing asylum seekers. Some people actually tried to do so as we saw. That type of speech can quite reasonably be described as "hate speech". All civilised societies have laws which place limits on free speech. That's why we have laws that prohibit incitement to violence and murder.

Thats fine, it is technically incitement to violence i agree and broke the law. This is a rare case that something called hate speech is actually incitement to violence though as most of the time its not. Although like i indicated i can understand how people are getting so frustrated that they feel the need to resort to this kind of extreme behaviour and speech. Working class people get a lot of their joy in life from the simple things like social cohesion, camaraderie, togetherness, identity, familiarity. Their main things in life arent money and power like those few who are making much of the decisions for the country
I think #kamala is right in some part as you are right in some part. I think socialmedia which use algorythms to promote aggressive language, provocation with no other intention then to provoke someone, this does not add to free speech. It rather obligates people to read this in favor of decent more calm language. But you are also right in the way, that hatespeech is defined from the reader and no objective measurement. And to defend democracy, we need to accept critique in all forms and allow bad language. It should rather be critiqued as well and be distrusted by the public instead of censoring it by police.
that's cool but nobody uses it instead of Bitcoin maxis. unless you make the user experience smooth like ice and get the network effect, normies will never ever use it
