from statements i have made on my website I definitely have room for improve. I should have consider how there should be anti-harrasment laws to protect people from hate speech. Hate speech can be hard to defined because is an opinion offensive or do you personally just find it offensive. I am not saying hate speech should be allowed, but it can be hard to decipher what is hate or not.
For my part, based on the content of your site, I thought it was kind of clear the playful "misinformation peddling" was referring to airy things like occult topics, wacky conspiracy theories etc rather than "eugenics" or "holocaust denial".
There needs to be standards/oversight for the veracity of information conveyed in encyclopedias, journals, news media, textbooks etc but I don't think this enforcement should apply to random individuals using social media (even if I find what they're saying REALLY odious) barring exceptions like specific/targeted harrassment of other individuals.
All speech can be perceived as “hate speech” if the hearer is sensitive enough. A free speech policy that doesn't permit hate speech is functionally the same as no free speech policy at all.
I'll add a part on to my website where I'll add exeptions to some of the points I have made.
"Hate Speech" should be mandatory, being offensive is a public service
sines-and-cymbals what on EARTH are you talking about vro
