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.

            I rather deal with a horrible piece of shit person than have some one tell me I can’t make my own choices. I don’t need a babysitter.

              So you’re visiting almost unregulated forums like 4chan regularly?

                I’m on 4chan pretty often. Not perfect but I wouldn’t change it. They do the bare minimum to maintain order and remove the illegal shit, anything else is your choice and consequences.

              How is saying “if you’re a jerk, you aren’t wanted here” telling you you can’t make your own choices?

              Or is it because your choice wouldn’t be wanted?
