RE: How Steem Protects Free Speech Without Promoting Hate Speech

in #steemit6 years ago

It's impossible to have free speech if any type of speech is suppressed.
Hate speech for example. Anything can be deemed hate speech.
politics I don't agree with = hate speech
weather report I don't like = hate speech
unpleasant economic report = hate speech
public intimacy = hate speech
walking a dog in public = hate speech.

(all action is speech isn't it?)

This was the most intelligent comment I have read on the topic yet! Thank you I totally agree @everittdmickey

It really wasn't

Not having ability to discern hate speech inciting direct violence isn't intelligent at all, infact , quite the opposite.

These numbers are so ridiculous it makes the point moot. The reward pool is over $700,000. Flagging your 2 cent shit posts does not change my rewards in any noticeable way, yet I spent 2 cents I will not get back.

I know you are of a simple mind and delicate constitution, and likely never comprehend this, for that I am sorry.

Bingo

who's gonna decide?
If you say "hello" to me and I'm having a bad day and interpret that as a threat.
Izit?

Is' "Nice place you have here, shame if anything happens to it."

Is that a threat? How is it different?

Who decides.

Suppose I claim that you are speaking in code.
Hate speech encoded

who decides?

what about pep rallies?
'ra ra reej
kick em in the knee
ra ra rass
kick em in the other knee'

should they be banned
