X Corp. said that if the court did not block the law, California could pressure companies "to remove, demonetize, or deprioritize constitutionally protected speech that the state deems undesirable or harmful."
Thats exactly the argument Id make. Hate speech is just speech the state doesn't like. And since when has the state not abused its powers?
Oh yes because racism, sexism, and nazism should be allowed to be promoted because free speech. So what minorities will be lynched, women will be raped, and our country will slip into authoritarianism because that is freedom...
Listen up, propaganda works. That is why it is being used to disrupt our society. It is time to pick a side. Are you with the haters calling for the end of people's freedom in the name of the false premise of freedom of speech so they can reshape society to benefit the minority? Because that is what we're are really talking about.
You do realize thats not what I mean by hate speech, right? Hate speech here means "speech the government doesn't like"
