Your ideas of what 'hate speech' is are fucking stupid. Mentioning my lived experience of people excluding me gets the odd tag where Facebook or Instagram thinks that the comment has somehow violated Community Standards. It can't seem to grasp the difference between saying that 'all trannies should die' or 'all trannies shouldn't be allowed to play community sports,' and stating that certain people haven't been kind or inclusive since I transitioned. This is how political debate dies: Meta overdoing it on censorship while Musk makes up his own rules. Meta should spend their money on ferreting out foreign influence in local politics and less money on censoring posts. Automation imo... their stuff is clearly several levels below ChatGPT. AI doesn't 'do' irony.

Essentially, Facebook should educate people about the 'block' and 'see less' buttons and then actually ensure that those fucking work instead of being buggy as shit. My view is people should be able to type whatever they want, but if other people vote en masse to cancel it, then it won't appear in random feeds.
