As long as those definitions never change, which of course they constantly do. By today's standards, the wildly popular TV show 'Friends' is full of hate speech. Who knows what will be considered hate speech tomorrow.

I don't personally use FB for a multitude of reasons.

But they are self hosted, so AWS isn't going to be banning them any time soon.

>Whatabout Facebook

Facebook doesn't use AWS, and at least attempts to moderate calls to violence.

If this is the bar, then it was met by a coup attempt organized on whatsapp in 2016. There's nothing whatabout about it.

Everything,

Everything will eventually be considered hate speech. Every idea is offensive to someone.

Have you seen the Office? Absolutely packed with harmful hate speech and violent tropes.
