- opinion-is-bad 6y agoWho decides what needs to be censored? How do we ensure a fair process if we could be silenced for just questioning the censors? The hate speech slope is slippery and unscrupulous politicians will always want to interfere.
- trianglem 6y agoAnything you cannot biologically change is hate speech. It’s not complicated and it’s objective.
- bmaisonp 6y agoGreat news for those who don't like certain religions.
- koenigdavidmj 6y agoModern racism probably is focused much more on cultural attributes, perceived to be universal or common among certain people, than melanin level. That makes your test useless for the most obvious thing a hate speech law would seek to protect.

- ghostwriter 6y agoWith this law in place, your (or anybody else's) stance on what constitutes hate speech or whether it's objective doesn't matter at all. What matters is who is in charge of defining and applying these policies, and you wouldn't have noticed how you'd become a criminal one day. Capisce?
- yibg 6y agoYou can tie a whole hell of a lot of things to biologically immutable attributes. Are these hate speech? - I don't like short men - I like blondes - We want to hire smart people - man how can he/she be so dumb? So now I can't say any of these things?
- SamReidHughes 6y agoSo you can’t criticize people’s personality?
- eikenberry 6y agoThat sounds bigoted against people for free speech to me. You should be banned.
