> There are no laws in the United States against hate speech
An interesting part of this discussion is that Youtube is operating globally. There are a number of countries with the concept of “hate speech” in the law. Saying it doesn’t exist in US law is only a partial answer.
- cwhiz 6y agoThis is true. I sometimes forget that people from all over the world are on HN. Good point.
- dgellow 6y agoThat’s true. But as a consequence, content can be blocked/deleted per country, it doesn’t have to be global. Otherwise countries with most restrictive laws basically dictate what is allowed or not to the rest of the world (though in practice that’s already in part the case).
