  • This is all predicated on the assumption that people already have a familiarity with organizing their thoughts and intentions in a way that even have a prayer of being understood by a machine.

    There are a lot of ways people innately organize their thoughts. Some of them translate much more easily than others to code.

    For some people, even step 1 is a hurdle that there are insufficient resources to clear.



  • The definition as taken to the courts in the USA is:

    “Hate speech is any form of expression through which speakers intend to vilify, humiliate, or incite hatred against a group or a class of persons on the basis of race, religion, skin color, sexual identity, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, or national origin.”

    It has more rigorous legal definitions in many other jurisdictions where hate speech is explicitly illegal.

    Canada for example.

    You characterizing toxicity and hate speech as being related isn’t a position taken even remotely seriously by anyone who actually write laws on the subject, and many have been written across the world.

    Broadly speaking, hate speech isn’t “being mean” in any legal definition… But that is what right-wing talking heads like to strawman it as.
