So if Google starts taking it's ToS seriously and starts removing items that are flagged... how long until we start seeing people flagging items that they don't like as "hate speech" (which is also included in the list[0] provided in an another comment). I mean, at least with porn there really isn't much of a question about whether a piece of content is sexual or not. But hate speech? Depending on the person you talk to, one piece of content that is totally acceptable to a wide group of people might be considered "hate speech" by a some minority or other group of people who take a hardline view against someone else. Who gets to decide what is or is not hate speech? That is, who gets to determine which ideas are or are not acceptable? Does that not scare anyone else just as much (or more)?

Did you expand “Hate Speech”? Their definition is pretty clear, “But we do not support content that promotes or condones violence against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity, or whose primary purpose is inciting hatred on the basis of these core characteristics. This can be a delicate balancing act, but if the primary purpose is to attack a protected group, the content crosses the line.

> I mean, at least with porn there really isn't much of a question about whether a piece of content is sexual or not I'm sorry, but there is a huge historical precedent that says otherwise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it
