Learned basically nothing here. So the FBI helped Twitter with content moderation? Who gives a crap.

They were going after political speech while ignoring actual crimes.

Oh please. Link to where Twitter banned someone for being right wing. Hate speech doesn't count.

It's very convenient that one side of the asile is always in a position to define what hate speech is.

Neat trick, but it doesn't work anymore.

Not a trick, but yeah saying we should harm certain groups of people is hate speech.

Who is saying that people should be harmed? Seriously. Whoever you have in mind, if they're actually advocating violence against people then I'm in agreement with you. That's not cool and they shouldn't be doing that.

Are you referring to calling a trans person by their biological sex?

When a doctor is speaking with a trans person about their body, it's an appropriate time to speak about their biological sex. That is certainly not hate speech.

When a stranger is yelling at a trans person about their biological sex, it's done to inflict emotional harm on the trans person. They transitioned away from that gender to reduce harm (that is the definition of a trans person), and the stranger is intentionally trying to bring that harm back.

Imagine shouting at a woman about her "biological breast size" because she is wearing a push-up bra, or had surgery to enlarge or reduce her breast size. Would that seem like a normal, harm-free way to interact with another person you don't know? Obviously not.
