We are already well down the slope moving at warp speed. Facebook is obviously selectively choosing what is hate speech according to their leftist political stance. They don't remove hate speech that is anti-police and inciting violence against police (BLM) despite dozens of police having been attacked and maybe half a dozen killings.

Facebook has already shutdown numerous left-wing groups. https://theintercept.com/2020/08/20/facebook-bans-antifascis...

They have shut down BLM pages? BLM irrefutably spreads hate, especially towards cops, even black cops, and their actions have gotten lots of cops killed. Many of them openly spread racial hate directed towards whites including the Dallas BLM shooter who killed 5 cops and said he wanted to kill white people and white cops in particular.

If they shut down a vague classification of people like holocaust deniers, which is like shutting down flat earthers, then clearly they should shut down an organized hate group.

See... you've downvoted this because you've decided BLM is "your team" because of politics and that is a problem. You can't think objectively about what political actors are actually doing in the real world, and that is very dangerous.

HN doesn't allow you to down vote replies to your own comments so that was someone else. Rather than accusing me of hypocrisy, you could read my other comments on this article to know my position on free speech.
