    Terrible idea. Any site that bans for hate speech would also be a rights violation. If a platform doesn’t share your values, leave it.

      Yes, sadly, freedom of speech includes freedom of hate speech. The platform would have to rely on its users downvoting or ridiculing the offender rather than outright bans.

        See Twitter to see what “free speech absolutism” gets you. The hateful stuff will quickly overrun and take over the platform, chasing decent people away.

          I understand what you are trying to say, but Twitter is far from free speech. Twitter is a mob/mind control device. It brings hatred to the forefront. The worst posts thrown right into people’s faces, then they tailor the content to focus the hatred.
          One only needs to type the words “Cis Gender” in Twitter to see the censorship, the hatred, and the target all working together.

          That’s not free speech, it’s brainwashing. Reddit is just as bad.

            Yes, I know. That’s what always happens if you allow hate speech - it takes over and suppresses dissent.
