Why not treat it as a threat under criminal code, and prosecute it as such? (That's what I think should be done.) What do you gain by censoring "hate speech"?

- js8 8y agoNo. The judge would decide whether it is a threat or not, and the punishment would correspond to that. If it's not a threat, then what is the problem? (See my other comment in this discussion.)
- krapp 8y agoIt's still censorship if the state does it, arguably it's more censorship if the state does it. It's even censorship when it serves the public good.
