I disagree, there is no such thing as hate speech, there is only hurt feeling. For hate speech, it is difficult to prove mens rea (criminal intent) when people have varying levels of sensitivity to words. "i'll know it when I see it" is a poor excuse for a standard to out someone in jail. you're going to ruin someone's life when the line not to cross isn't clear?


The line that was struck in the US is child P because someone was hurt in the creation of the expressed material. other than that, freedom of speech is absolute in criminal cases.

that is the way to go. I will however sau that with geberative AI, the moral standard of that line, while i believe the line should stay, is getting shaky
