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.

Referring to a trans person by the wrong gender repeatedly is a good example of hate speech.

It reminds of an old joke:

Conservative: "I keep getting banned for my views"

Rando: "Oh, small government?"

C: "No, not that one"

R: "Oh, so fiscal responsibility?"

C: "Not that either"

R: "So which ones?"

C: "Oh, uh... You know."

No it’s not. Referring to a trans person by the wrong pronouns repeatedly is just rude. It isn’t hate speech

That’s just watering down what hate speech is.

Speech designed to

A) Harm the target, who has gone out of their way to avoid that harm already (by transitioning/changing pronouns)

B) Dehumanize the target in the eyes of others (this person doesn't matter, their wishes are to be entirely disrespected)

seems like a reasonable candidate for hate speech to me.

Pointing out that a man who desires to be a woman is still really a man, is an act of speech that neither causes him harm nor dehumanizes him.

It's very silly to claim that this is some type of hate.
