Social media giants oppose hate?
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Talk is cheap. Words minus actions equals zero, as my friend Joey Keithley says.

Are you by any chance referring to Joey Shithead of DOA?
Loved that video “Where Evil Grows”, with homage to Terry Jacks!
When we can ALL agree on what is hate then we may well come up with a sound policy. However one woman’s free expression is another woman’s hate speech. While I oppose those who go out of their way to slander any religion I also oppose attempts to restrict criticism of any religion. While I don’t support the criticism of anyone because of their gender or sexual orientation or race, I don’t support those who would stop anyone from fair criticism of a person because of their gender or sexual orientation or race.
Facebook is a joke in dealing with that sort of thing. I reported all of the sites that the hate group Soldiers of Odin have set up to recruit other racists and spread their Islamophobic hate speech. Every time I would get a message saying they haven’t violated their rules.
I know, racism and other bigotries have serious outcomes…but sometimes I get a chuckle from the names we assign to ourselves (groups like this), weapons, and assorted other harmful phenomena.
