Hate Speech, Social Media and Gender Ideology
Another report on BBC News (nothing on iPlayer yet) about an increase in LGBT hate crime but still no clear definition of "hate", which is a worryingly loose category. Physical attacks and abuse are reprehensible, but how much disagreement and criticism is labelled "hate"?

Fair comment from Margaret Nelson - without agreement on what constitutes hate speech these reports are meaningless and wide open to abuse from gender zealots who call people transphobic at the drop of a hat.
Hate Speech, Social Media and Gender Ideology (October 19, 2022)
I'm afraid this Guardian article is completely meaningless without agreement on what constitutes 'hate speech'.
For example, there's an organised campaign underway to report/sanction people who actively oppose gender ideology.
