You just helped to prove my point. A large swatch of Trump supporters agree with many of his views, just look at the rally's. Many also feel that certain positions of the left, such as the the support of abortion is morally repugnant.
The term "hate speech" is extremely subjective, as are the terms "hate" and "bigotry" as they are used today. If you take a person on the religious right, they will use the terms such as "heathen", "sinner", "obscene" and "degenerate" to describe many alternative lifestyles, also subjective terms. I've heard some on the right say they want to think that many on the left do not really feel these lifestyles are OK etc..
The reality is that that the person on the far right, and the person on the far left, no matter how tolerant they may feel they are, will ultimately be biased towards their own morals when dealing with subjective matters. They may feel they are doing the right moral thing, yet the person from the other side may fervently disagree. The reality is that there is an equal amount of sin on both sides which is why I want neither of them being the sole arbiter of the content I see.
This is why the checks and balances are so important. But when you have a pseudo monopoly, for profit corporation such as YouTube, with a predominately left leaning set of values running the show we no longer have that. More importantly there is an argument to be made that the content filtering as is being done today is not what was intended in the current legislation and clarification via legal precedent and/or revised legislation is overdue.
