Your comment is completely non sequitur. That such a thing doesn't exist today does not invalidate my point which is that there are technical solutions to this that do not rely on the platforms inserting themselves as judge of what is hate speech and what isn't hate speech.

This policy about removing hate comments didn't exist yesterday and is still not in place. By your logic it isn't a solution either and can't be discussed because it's not yet in place.

I think the fact that these tools don't exist speaks to Twitter's priorities, though, and in a discussion of editorial control of social platforms that seems like a salient point.
