patriot act and seeing the continuation of right wing authoritarianism

The Patriot Act was an overwhelmingly bipartisan bill.

You're just redefining terms. It's the same thing. If Twitter or Lemmy wants to block those things that's fine. I would agree that social networks should try to maintain some sense of decency on their platforms. The government shouldn't be involved though.

This is (mostly) a different point and I'm not going to engage with it. Suffice it to say that hate speech isn't a slippery slope it's the bottom of the mountain. If such a policy is ever enacted it will be abused and used to persecute people.

While not pacifistic Christianity is non-violent. If someone claims to be a Christian and beats up a homosexual for "no reason" then they are sinning. This, also, is completely irrelevant to the argument I was making.

Everyone tries to enforce their views. You, I assume, want to enforce your world view of radical tolerance for [issue here] at the expense of someone elses ability to criticize it. Your neighbor might want to define hate speech as anything that violates Sharia law.

What we have now (which is no restriction on hate speech) is actually the best policy.

My point is that it's a moving target that will be abused. The government should not and thankfully cannot regulate speech based on the grounds of "hate". Hate is also not illegal. (At least in the US)

For example, Christians are taught to love the sinner but hate the sin. Homosexuality, drag queens, transgenderism are sins in Christianity. With your new law Christians are now censored because their worldview disagrees with yours.

Whoever has the right to define that term has immense power and that power will be abused just like the other labels in the meme.

What is hate speech?

It should also include "disinformation", "hate speech" and "conspiracy theory".

I use it all the time for work especially for long documents and formatting technical documentation. It's all but eliminated my removed work. A lot of people are sour on AI because "it's not going to deliver on generative AI etc etc" but it doesn't matter. It's super useful and we've really only scratched the surface of what it can be used for.

Cool I might get a test number to play around with before I consider porting my main one.
