Most solutions I see often assume that the humans involved are intelligent, open to discussion, and peaceful. This works in the town of theory.
What solution for the rest of the world, where hate speech incites violence, societal harm and instills fear?
I don't have solutions to either side of the problem, but I do know that they are often discussed in isolation, or at least there's a lot of pretending that they exist in isolation.
