Who gets determine what is hate speech?

You are comfortable with censoring people based on a subjective Wikipedia definition?

I’m not trying to get into a debate, I just think that’s it’s pretty obvious what should b considered hate speech

"it’s pretty obvious what should b considered hate speech" then, from the same people, "objectivity is a front for subjectivity, it is all socially constructed, who determines whom"

Speaking of which, I just noticed that
@caitlinsimmond lives in the UK, a country in opposition to which the entire US Constitution was written. Who determines whom, indeed. -
London just banned a female from entering the country because she "engages in hate speech" by speaking out about violence in Islam.

The more artificial groups are created by the new "overseers," the more speech will be restricted for everyone else. Imagine not being speak out against your own rulers because they happen to be deaf, and speaking to them is considered a hate crime.

Thank goodness our kids don't make decisions for the rest of us. Everything is hate speech to my 14 year old.
