If Google wants to be viewed as a safe harbor, so Google should behave as one and stop deciding what is "hateful". What you/Google/government consider hateful can be what I or the people in Belarus consider the truth. This trend of "censorship for your own good" needs to stop.

I believe all platforms do moderation of some sort. It sounds like what you are proposing is that nobody be allowed to do any moderation. How do you think that would work?

The only moderate for removal of illegal content.

The rest is up to the users.

It would work as the internet is supposed to work. Like it worked about until 2015. Slander and libel is punishable under law. This is the way to punish lies and excesses. For the rest, lets just talk, freely, and let the best ideas win.
