    The problem comes when you let the government decide what is “hate speech, racism, bigotry, fascism”. It gives government too much power to control the opposition by censorship.

      What exactly do you propose to do about hate speech, racism, bigotry and fascism being spread on social media as propaganda, ignore it and hope no one sees it and gets radicalized? We’re already seeing people become terrorists after being radicalized by Internet media. and you would have us just hope we’re not in the line of fire when it happens again, I guess?

        First of all, the USA is not the center of the world, the problems you guys have with mass shooting is not caused by the “hate speech”.

        And again banning hate speech is just masking the deeper institutional/educational problems you have, not solving them.
