I'm not talking about obfuscated messages. If one were to post "I love you no matter where you fucking come from", they're not being hateful, but they are being vulgar. Is that allows?
On the other hand, if one were to post "I truly believe that all people who are not white are inferior beings that should leave my country", then there's zero vulgarity here but clearly a hateful horrible person I'd like to avoid at all costs.
If the problem is vulgarity, then the solution is well-understood: censor the bad words, let the rest of the message stay. If the problem is hate, then the problem is that it's impossible to ever really get rid of it.
I suspect in the author's case, the problem is that they used vulgarity 9 years ago and the system finally picked up on it.
- danso 7y agoYes, vulgarity is completely allowed. Here's a tweet that was popular enough for the WaPo to write about, but not actually print: > Fuck my fucking face I’m about to get skinny as fuck https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/08/09/dont-worry-trump-opponents-your-fast-food-options-are-still-robust/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/08/09/dont-worr...
