What is "hate"? That is such a vague and expansive term that can mean whatever those in power want it to mean. There are activists today that would say I am being "hateful" if I am concerned about the rising trend of gender dysphoria among young teenage women or if I think puberty blockers should not be used. Far-left radicals might call that hate, but everyone else would call it common sense. And that's exactly why we shouldn't have platforms that are large and influential picking what's allowed and disallowed. I also find this line disingenuous: > You can still say what you want, but nobody has to listen to you. OK, if that's the case, why can't people say what they want on Twitter or Parler, and you can just not view the content you disagree with?

> what is hate? I also find this line disingenuous. You know what we all mean by it. Don’t make this a silly word game. Nobody needs to (risk seeing) see calls for hate, violence and racials slurs. If you don’t want that shit on your platform, ban it. That’s not censorship. Fine if you build your own gab/4chan/parler. But nobody is required to host you. Nobody is required to give you a soap box. Discussions about gender stuff is fine. I disagree strongly but that is not hate. However calling your own position common sense in a debate is also disingenuous and it makes me question your motives.
