Facebook banning people posts is acting that of a publisher. Being a platform business and being a publisher have different protections. Publishers can be held libel if they post defamatory articles or flat out lies. Facebook and Google do not want that but still want the power of publisher. Do you see what the problem is?

I use all the services y... moreThe difference betwen you and I is that you use the internet for entertainment purposes only and maybe shopping, while I use the internet for all that, AND to absorb new information, get knowledgeable, form thoughts and opinions, and understand the world at a global level.
You are right to not care about information bias and monitoring/tracking, as you do not aim to expand your mind and knowledge. So these things shouldn't matter for you. Whereas I question everything and don't abide to the lifestyle and rules that the masses of sheep follow.

It's almost as if govts have realized that pushing groups of culturally incompatible peoples together creates social unrest and now they're using it as an excuse to censor free speech.

They decide what hate speech is and what the "truth" is, in other words a lot less freedom. Leave social media and life a real life, then they will lose.

"Hate speech" refers to inflammatory statements made directly or indirectly towards a group based on said group's race, skin colour, religion, beliefs, background, mental health, physical ability, social class, sexual orientation, gender and so forth that may incite violence or encourage discrimination.
Due to power dynamics in many multicultural societies, most hate-speech laws aim to protect historically-persecuted people from groups with power.
Some argue that freedom of speech should not encompass hateful speech about men, women or various minorities – sexual, religious or racial. In some countries (i.e. the UK), a balance is sought between freedom of speech (which people should have) and people's right not to be offended. By contrast, in the U.S., political speech is protected above all other categories of protected speech, and therefore, no balancing test occurs. However speech is still restricted in immigrants who can be denied naturalization based on political affiliation. Moreover, the fact that, say, some Christians regard any critical examination of Christianity or the Bible as hate speech shows that one person's hate speech is another person's political (and merely critical, not hateful) speech.
The First Amendment only applies to the government and the actions it is constrained from; private entities generally may have speech codes or otherwise limit speech. Therefore, only state universities are prohibited from banning hate speech, although private universities also tend to respect freedom of speech as well as academic freedom.
Some research has examined the link between the prevalence of hate speech and the extensiveness of mental illness and suicide among the groups targeted by the hate speech. Many groups who are often the victims of hate speech have higher suicide rates.
There you go. If you're not a minority stop whining that this law offends you. In my country the corrupted Christian majority ruins everything they touch, and then everyone blames the minorities and imaginary enemies instead.

Andy93, 05 Jul 2019There is no such thing as hate speech. There is only free s... moreSaying that offensive speech is not protected by free speech is a VERY dangerous slope to be on. Should we be offensive on purpose to other people? That is an obvious no. With that being said free speech gives us the right to speak our mind even if some people are offended by our views. Vice versa, our views must not offend others feelings.
