This article is pure hype from top top bottom. It begins by discussing spam, then it segues into a discussion of profanity and hate speech as though they're the same thing. But conspicuous for its absence is any discussion of freedom of speech, the usual limiting factor in removing content some may find offensive, including hate speech.<p>I think the article was actually written by an automated content generator that read a bunch of similar articles and created a simulation, but without any deep understanding of the topic it's supposedly about.
