Do you not know what is happening in Hong Kong right now? You don't let the government decide what is "hate speech" and what is not.



On the flip side, you don't let Facebook decide that as well.

As a society, there doesn't seem to be a solution.


If FB wants to decide that what I say is not allowed on their platform and consequently ban me, that's fine by me. It's their platform, so their rules. Very different from a government banning speech, and hauling people away to be tortured like in China's case.


You make it sound like, since it's a private business, they can impose any rule they want.

I don't think I agree with that.


Freedom of speech is the solution.
