luckily steemit cannot be censored (hidden yes but still seen). Bad news about Steemit I guess if they will turn people in. But for what? Having an opinion?

I also don't believe freedom of speech should equate to HATRED or calls for violence. There's limits to everything. I know radicals may use that approach to take down a platform, but lets be honest; steemit/STEEM blockchain is not for MSN anyways.. it's views and interactions depend on anything other than the mainstreem. Why else would they be here?
Also how will posts NOT be seem on steemit? It still shows everything from the blockchain no?
If you are banned from www.steemit.com your posts wont show up on www.steemit.com. you also won't be able to log in or use www.steemit.com.
You will have to use busy.org or steempeak or mspsteem.
wow that's news.. and interesting.
Hate speech is subjective and indefinable, and serves as a cultural marxist manipulation tool.
Free speech will always offend someone, somewhere..
Inciting violence - absolutely not..
I feel you saying things like 'dont' like it? Too bad' is hateful to my personal outlook on life..
Ergo it's hate speech,...mmmm...
Hate speech is not subjective or indefinable.. that's a cop-out from people who want to say whatever the hell they want without consequence. We all know what is hate speech (inciting violence), and even coupling bad actors and blaming the whole. That happens ALL the time.
Speech like actions can be dangerous and should be used responsibly. You can be stereotypical or what-not; I'm a pretty secure human being; but hate speech is associated STRONGLY with inciting violence. Now if the socialists and libtards use that as a defense to shut down the whole argument, I'm not in favor of that because it's hypocritcal and blatantly without reason or logic.
What I am not is a snowflake who's feelings will get hurt at the mention of facts and reasonable discourse. I'm narrowing down my view to the tin-foil hat-tards who base everything on the "boogyman", the "zionists", the "reptilians", the "vatican" blah blah blah.
I'm not interested in how people "feel" after an opinion. Facts don't have feelings.
I agree with everything you say except the hate speech being legislated against (as it lacks definition).
But that's exactly the kind of common sense statement the left can -and do- use against free speech..if there is legislationthat can be brough to bear.
Therefor it's better not legislated against...(as opposed to inciting violence).
Could I be taken to court for someone else overhearing me say to my mate :
"hey! gay nigger boy!( he's mixed race, but doesn't mind! very gay though!)
He calls me 'snowflake white boy' all the time..
Do I hate him because of my expression?
No, he's one of my closest mates...
Neither of us will curb the way we talk to each other, from fear of offending anyone..
That isn't hate speech, but could be twisted by a manipulator will nefarious objectives...
Offense in speech, is a dish best served ignored, not punishable by authority..
Yah I hear yah.. I'm talking about hate speech exclusively inciting violence. "Burn them all" etc.. kill them throw them in ovens etc..
If you friend lets you talk to him like that.. fine - LOL if someone over hears and is "offended", well too bad.
But on the flip side, if you are cat-calling or doing it in the context outside of "friendship" well that's easy to define.
Oh I could tell you a few stories on that score... lol
