Tech companies can distinguish between free speech and hate speech if they want to - Da... - 0 views

  • Facebook has come under recent criticism for censoring LGBTQ people’s posts because they contained words that Facebook deem offensive. At the same time, the LGBTQ community are one of the groups frequently targetted with hate speech on the platform.

  • At the same time, the laws of many countries like Germany, and other international conventions, explicitly limit these freedoms when it comes to hate speech.
  • It would not be impossible for tech companies to form clear guidelines within their own platforms about what was and wasn’t permissable. For the mainly US companies, this would mean that they would have to be increasingly aware of the differences between US law and culture and those of other countries.
