Stop urging, start banning.
Develop public European alternatives to these platforms.
Well, that should do it. Time for lunch
Phew, I’m so glad reddit got overlooked.
I fucking hate the EU.
Urges ? Is time to force them
Hate speech on American social media is a feature, not a bug.
Why would they disable their most profitable feature?
Yeah, no. Europe is becoming progressively more right wing and right wingers love hate speech. They are only against sharing information about their scams and grifts.
This should have been” urged” as soon as Musk pitched the idea of buying Twitter and enforced the day he bought it. Good luck with “urging” in 2025
I’m sure asking nicely to people who see themselves above the law will solve the problem.
The idea sounds nice but since noone is arguing from principle anymore and everything is very hypocritical these days, what is considered “hate” is always dependend on the political situation. It becomes a weapon which can then be used by others. And once the right wingers are in power again, I don’t want criticism of rightwing policies and sentiment to be deleted on the grounds they are hateful. So be careful what you wish for.
It’s been scientifically proven and documented that hate speech makes people dumb and reduces empathy. Key features of ‘conservatism’ (which is radicalism in my book).
[Exposure to hate speech deteriorates neurocognitive mechanisms of the ability to understand others’ pain](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-31146-1).
>*The widespread ubiquity of hate speech affects people’s attitudes and behavior. Exposure to hate speech can lead to prejudice, dehumanization, and lack of empathy towards members of outgroups. However, the impact of exposure to hate speech on empathy and propensity to attribute mental states to others has never been directly tested empirically. In this fMRI study, we examine the effects of exposure to hate speech on neural mechanisms of empathy towards ingroup (Poles) versus outgroup members (Arabs). Thirty healthy young adults were randomly assigned to 2 groups: hateful and neutral. During the fMRI study, they were initially exposed to hateful or neutral comments and subsequently to narratives depicting Poles and Arabs in pain. Using whole-brain and region of interest analysis, we showed that exposure to derogatory language about migrants attenuates the brain response to someone else’s pain in the right temporal parietal junction (rTPJ), irrespective of group membership (Poles or Arabs). Given that rTPJ is associated with processes relevant to perspective-taking, its reduced activity might be related to a decreased propensity to take the psychological perspective of others. This finding suggests that hate speech affects human functioning beyond intergroup relations.*
For real life proof; look no further than Leon from Twatter, who seems to have fallen into his own trap and is hopelessly addicted to hate.
Yeah, right. Just look at who is sitting in the front row of the inauguration, each giving 1 million to the new king.
This is stupid.
How about the business model. Attention capture algorithm is going to prop up “hate speech” and socially dangerous narratives. You can circumvent certain words and still be a Nazi.
The EU behaves like a colony of the USA. Disgraceful.
Yeah, this takes too long. The MEGA plan is a treath to us all and the EU just noticed there might be a tiny issue with social media.
They won’t, it’s time to start enforcement of DSA, and bring potential bans to the table (unless 50% EU owned to borrow from someone else)
*Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
If you let people burn your flags on the streets, you gotta let people say F ck Y u about it online.
If they become a problem ban them, hate speech is a crime on many countries. If they can’t police themselves they shouldn’t be allowed to operate. The idea that you should be allowed to say whatever you want without consequences is not something most people outside the US support without limits.
“Hate speech” is a flexible term depending on the individual so no thanks.
Free speech is inviolable. There’s no such thing as hate speech, that’s a commie term for censorship.
Just grow a spine and ban them ffs!
Good/sufficient mechanisms against misinfo would be much more important! This anti-hati-speech stuff would largely result in lots of unwarranted censorship. Third, nobody seems to care about the already prevalent censorship and [semi-censorship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Online_semi-censorship) (i.e. hiding comments and deboosting posts) on YouTube and X (and even often on reddit by mods if they don’t like a post or user in many subs like /r/de). In short, please call for improving or adding mechanisms against misinfo like Community Notes (e.g. algorithms that identify posts to review or bots that correct misinfo).
Hate and rage make too much money. This needs to start in homes and schools, but it never will.
People are too spoiled with entertainment. Almost everyone is addicted. I have even gotten into arguments with people in real life because I really don’t want to see a insta reel or tiktok or YouTube short but they have nothing else they can think of to do or say but keep saying “watch this video!”
Nope. Not gonna do it and I’m perfectly okay with having less friends as a result. 95% of people cannot say the same and walk away and stay away.
Who decides what the “hate speech” is and who will be holding those people accountable for their decision
