How do you moderate something you can't define?

Hate speech can be defined. Of course, not everyone will agree on the definition, but that's beside the point.

I mean, isn't that exactly the point the person above is making?

There are other choices, consumers just don't want them.

> I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.
Hasn't stopped the government from moderating other things that can't be defined crisply.
