Muslim employee in a supermarket refuses to handle bacon = okay
Christian employee in a supermarket refuses bake a cake for a homosexual = not okay
Free speech and anti-discrimination when it suits you, and the opposite when it suits you. The doublethink is strong.
Which singular person or entity should be responsible for determining what "hate speech" is? According to SJWiki I am a neurosexist for believing that men and women have different brains and that gender is not a social construct. Should SJWiki be trusted? According to the ADL, Gavin McInnes and Mike Cernovich are hate preachers. Should the ADL be trusted?
> Do you have an example of this being identified as hate speech?

Also it's a slippery slope because once the "hate speech" clampdown happens, we'll then be punished for microaggressions, so even if you're not a racist, you'll be seen as racist for asking what race or ethnicity someone is?
Nowadays hate speech is a euphamism for any idea or opinion someone doesn't like, so the term hate speech has lost its meaning. It now means using gender pronouns to refer to people, using gendered job names, saying that men and women are born with different brains, saying that there's only 2 genders, saying that feminism is cancer, saying there's a link between islam and terrorism, saying that black people underachieve in society due to genetics instead of the evil racist oppressive white male - and much more.

It reminds me of the Investigatory Powers Act in Britain which demands ISPs to log everyone's internet browsing history and the end of end-to-end encryption as all encryption will have to have backdoors.
All that will happen, is that anonymous email providers will move to countries which are privacy friendly. It's a game of whack a mole. There's already Sigaint which is an anonymous email provider which is hosted on Tor. I'll be using Sigaint, offshore hosting and I2VPN when I launch my anonymous website.

Hi,
Thank you for your email. We truly appreciate your idea and that you want to help keep the site up for users.
Please know that we have looked into every option when making our decision to close the site. This was a very difficult decision on our part that we struggled with for months.
The bottom line is that the privacy of our users is our top priority, and as online anonymity is being challenged more and more by government agencies, we simply no longer have the resources to effectively handle a slew of incoming information requests, subpoenas, and search warrants.
While we support proper law enforcement efforts, the potential for abuse is constantly growing as scores of new laws require compliance with intricate and sometimes contradictory privacy regulations for each country, territory, and state.
With Appreciation,
EP Support Team www.experienceproject.com

How am I supposed to make a website with a private message function where users are anonymous, if the american government can demand to revoke all users anonymity? It happened with Lavabit, now with Experience Project. American government wanted info on [email protected] (which Lavabit was happy to give) then decided they wanted information on ALL users, and the same thing must be happening to EP. Any website based or hosted in america with private messaging and supposed anonymity is at risk.
