Comment on Is it possible to have a "free speech" platform that simultaneously stops "hate speech"?
m0darn@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoI support robust enforcement of anti hate speech laws. In fact I’ve reported hate speech/ hatecrime to the police before.
We’re not talking about laws, we’re talking about social media platform policies.
Social media platforms connect people from regions with different hatespeech laws so " enforcing hatespeech laws" is impossible to do consistently.
If users engage in crimes using the platform they are subject to the laws that they are subject to.
I don’t care that it’s legal to advocate for genocide where a preacher is located, or at the corporation’s preferred jurisdiction, I don’t want my son reading it.
The question was is: there a way a platform can be totally free speech and stop hate speech. I think the answer is “kinda”
