Most of the opposition to speech is about venue (Twitter, colleges) not absolute right to say it.

i was more observing a general trend, not subtweeting any one thing.

Hate speech isn’t protected speech. The First Amendment isn’t an open bar to order both speech and direct incitement to violence.
-
from a legal perspective that's wrong. There is no legal "hate speech" definition exception to the first amendment
-
Go research court decisions and get back to me after you’ve read the judicial history.
-
I have. Many times. Unless there is direct and imminent incident of violence, or a true threat, it's protected speech under 1st am
-
Right, masquerading as speech isn’t protected. You’re just using a broad definition of hate speech to disagree.
-
There is literally an exception by SCOTUS to a large category of hate speech, and tests to decide whether it incites violence.
-
yes, but those exceptions aren't called hate speech. They're called ""incitement" and "true threats".
-
The definition of hate speech is sometimes scoped entirely to include just that kind of speech, however.
