Facebook, X, YouTube to do more against online hate speech, EU says

This is going to be another one of those threads where Americans are angry and confused at a non-American government not governing according to American values, isn't it?

This is great, hate speech is all the opinions I don't like, right?

I recently reported a comment on a Meta website that said something along the lines of “[x] CEO needs a Luigi”. It was clearly advocating for a copycat murder of a specific individual. I got a response back saying that it didn’t break any Meta rules. I hit the button to request a re-review. Again, I was told that a person took a second, closer look at it and confirmed that it didn’t break any Meta rules.<p>If calling for copycat murders is something that Meta explicitly allows on their platform, then I think the EU are right to push them to do better.

One should prefer that they don&#x27;t.<p>Hate speech, as we saw with the insane fire-storm over Sriram Krishnan&#x27;s appointment, and the deep-seated hated with Hindus&#x2F;Indians in the US, is actually a great breaker of the elite-controlled illusions.<p>The faster these break, the better.

Without technical alternatives EU treats are worthless

How much of this is about defending Israel from criticism of their genocide and how much of this is real? The platforms are full of hate speech, but they also don&#x27;t actually care. Twitter in particular was engineeered in the past few years specifically to allow more hate speech.
