https://twitter.com/hashtag/IStandWithHateSpeech?src=tren

It's in response to this. https://www.rt.com/news/344978-facebook-hate-speech-eu/

quote:

Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, and YouTube adopted the code of conduct on Tuesday, committing to crackdown on the use of online hate speech swiftly by putting in place internal procedures to respond to the majority of notifications of abuse within 24 hours and remove the offending content if necessary.

The hashtag seems to be mostly about the Hate Speech policies being seen as censorship that could lead to a slippery slope.

Well GBS, do you stand with hate speech?

I am not entirely sure, I do not feel this is clear

is the hashtag in favor of hate speech
in favor of hashtag hate speech
not in favor of hate speech

Please clarify for me the usage of this particular hashtag.

idk man, like, I tend to agree with the current parameters for Hate Speech
but there's that part of me that's uncomfortable with Facebook Twitter Google etc. being the arbiters of what is or is not "hate speech"

like what if the definition changes?

I think we've hit a point where it's pretty much agreed that these people are on the wrong side of history so this doesn't strike me as a bad place to draw the line

Today Twitter banned a bunch of parody accounts of Putin and critical of Russian policy in general, so we're off to a rousing start! I'm sure those EU laws banning making fun of Turkey's president are going to go over great, too. loving LOL at all the idiots who think this is going to be used for anything except propping up current powers and the status quo. Congrats, you've let 4chan troll you into begging media overlords to silence dissent against authority.

Creating egg accounts and hiding your IP isn't hard. These laws won't stop hate speech one bit, but they'll sure make it much easier to silence any form of established dissent against entrenched power. Great job, guys! We did it!

So what magical force stops "established dissent" (read:Neo-Nazies) from making egg accounts? A mummy's curse?
