I don’t trust facebook to decide what is hate speech and what isn’t, if thats what you’re saying.

Are you suggesting that large online spaces should have laws and police to investigate and enforce the laws? Of course this is already in place, but not at all enforced in the same manner as a public place.

No, I don’t trust anyone to do that. Everyone should be able to judge for themselves.

Except that, clearly, they can’t. Look at the republican base.

No, you don’t trust lIbRuLs, though Fox News can lie every second of every day and you’ll never criticize them
