I believe the term hate speech originality was aimed at people advocating violence or treating people badly for who they are, i.e. advocating for killing Jews, gays, blacks, transgenders etc.
Social media sites don't only use keywords but also machine learning to decide which posts to remove. This is based on how similar the posts are to those which have been manually removed by a human moderator.

I don't like the concept of hate crimes either. A crime should be punished according to the severity of the crime, not the motivation behind it. In many cases it can be really difficult to prove what motivated it. If I get assaulted I couldn't care less whether it is because somebody didn't like my race or religion or because they wanted my wallet, the effect is the same.

People in the UK have been arrested and fined for hate speech, not just actual physical assaults. The worse one was a bloke who got fined because he trained his girlfriend's dog to do a Nazi salute when he said gas the Jews, made a video of it and put it online. It was obviously a joke. :palm:

Of course websites such as Facebook can set their own rules about what's acceptable and what isn't and no one has any right to free speech on someone else's website. The problem is, governments put pressure on social media sites to limit what they deem to be misinformation which in reality can be anything they disagree with.

If AI is so ubiquitous and touted to be so clever, how come nobody can seem to use it to filter out material that hurts their feefees?
strawberry:
everyone must be equal
racism/discrimination is when dividing people into groups based on some criterion
some people know how to use the system in their favor flagging YT channels, facebook , twitter ...
long/short term scoring system + pattern algorithm + negative feedback . will delete posts and limit access proportionally to when there is negative pattern( hate spreading attack) and feedback (negative positive)?
positive algorithm feedback amplifies exponentially (views/thumbs up = popular/important)
AI because it needs different processing than regular server to be efficient

No one is equal. In fact it's not possible for everyone to be equal, whilst maintaining a fair society. Some level of inequality is good. As long as people aren't being repressed, then different groups of people being represented more in some walks of life, than others is to be expected.
Social media is biased in what they consider to be hate speech. Talk about killing Jews and you'll get kicked off, but say the same about Russians and that's fine, because of the war. They just support the authorities' position on everything.

It's not even for talking about ending ppl, zero. If I were to waste time on FB advocating no war, I'm the arsehole for pointing out that economic sanctions are stupid. They adversely affect all industries not just tech.
