    I support robust enforcement of anti hate speech laws. In fact I’ve reported hate speech/ hatecrime to the police before.

    We’re not talking about laws, we’re talking about social media platform policies.

    Social media platforms connect people from regions with different hatespeech laws so " enforcing hatespeech laws" is impossible to do consistently.

    If users engage in crimes using the platform they are subject to the laws that they are subject to.

    I don’t care that it’s legal to advocate for genocide where a preacher is located, or at the corporation’s preferred jurisdiction, I don’t want my son reading it.

    The question was: is there a way a platform can be totally free speech and stop hate speech. I think the answer is “kinda”
