Well then the crux of the issue is that you cannot build a global free speech platform. What is free speech in USA is illegal speech in Germany, China, etc. If you really want a free speech platform, you can only really deploy it in countries that respect the same level of free speech (or greater) as your own. And that's leaving a lot of money on the table for publicly traded companies, hence free speech morals go out the window in favor of growth/region-specific censorship.
- medvezhenok 4y agoIncitement to violence is illegal in the U.S.A. too. The line between hate speech and incitement to violence can get awfully blurry in some cases.
- hackerlight 4y agoThere is a line legally speaking, but not in reality if we're talking about the literal meaning of the words "incitement to violence". There are over three mass shooters in the US that were strictly radicalized by hate speech in online forums. That speech directly caused them to kill people.
