For me I would hold the social media companies more to account when it comes to hate speech and harassment online and force social media companies to do more to stop online harassment and hate speech.

    Your version of hate speech is different from other people’s versions of hate speech.

    “Hate speech” is protected speech. At least it is in the USA.

    People really need to realize how to use block/mute buttons.

      Protected by the government. Doesn’t mean businesses can’t ban you from their platform.

          Cool. I hate bigots and assholes and would rather hang out in a place that doesn’t have any.

          There’s a fine distinction between censoring someone’s ideas, and censoring someone being an asshole.
