RE: The Suppression Paradox - why banning hatred/racist speech doesn't work and may make things worse

in #life8 years ago (edited)

fully agreed. very concerned about posts being flagged/censored for "hate speech".
"hate speech" as introduced by the EU is Orwellian censorship. it censors opinions. Steemit should stick to the USA 1st Amendment.
unless someone insults, threatens or incites violence (exceptions to the 1st amendment) then noone should have the authority to silence a person's voice and opinion .

Well said! As civilised people we should be able to discuss things.
