"Hate speech in the United States is not regulated, in contrast to that of most other liberal democracies."
I think any civilized country should have these laws, and most do.

- anfilt 7y agoI don't think that is a role or a power a government should have. I am aware other countries tend be less certain about this than the US. However, looking at data here you can see that it's still not a small amount of people in other Countries. Even at times exceeding 50%. Image with some interesting data. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/Democracy-Report-80.png https://www.pewresearch.org/global/wp-content/uploads/sites/... Honestly there is more discussion, about this coming out of the US because we consider a wider area of things as free speech. It really comes down to the fact we see other entities not following the same principles we hold our government too. However, like I said earlier people or other private entities do not have to have the same standards or be consistent like a government. Also that is one the biggest problems with giving government the power to police speech is how to be consistent.
