yes some speech should be band. Anything that goes against the constitution and promotes violence should be band.

Ka San

Free speech does not allow yelling "Fire" in a theater when there is no fire, so It's not an absolute right. As such, hate speech should be banned. No one benefits from hate speech, no matter rights!!

Nancy Cook

No one is free to threaten others. Hate speech is a threat.

Kim Yager-Gilchrist

No one should be able to promote hate! It’s about being a decent human being.

Sam Ackerman

The people banning "hate" speech today will be banning what you want to talk about tomorrow.

Heidi Owen

yeah especially if it stops all the damn muslime and m.s. 13, posts and all the other hate American slogans ,.. and yes white supremists included but c'mon the other's are even worse.

Enough is enough - If Facebook can't control it then someone else should

Because there is a rampant abundance of hate happening in this country recently. No need to encourage it.

No, we have rights!

Our First Amendment rights negate any jurisdiction a social media platform would have over groups who use the platform and what they say.

To easy to label opposing views "Hate speech".

Dave Voiles

A very arrogant person would think they have the right to decide what kind of speech is appropriate or acceptable. In some countries people go to prison for disagreeing with the status quo. Want that?

clhuke64

Sure....stopping speech of any kind worked for Hitler and Mussolini……..just saying...

Ken Callison

What constitutes hate speech, and who decides? Just because I have a different point of view, doesn’t mean I’m being hateful.

Christine Young

If we could depend on the fairness of the social media provider, but we can’t. One side will always have more power depending on the provider‘s bias. If we can’t do it right, then zero censorship.

Chase Mays

I think this is an issue for social media platforms to decide what they want to allow. If users are opposed to the platforms speech policies, they will naturally gravitate away from the platform.

Robert Mckheen

Speech is our right just as it is to have a gun.

Sam Ackerman

Nope, not only do we have freedom of speech. But I also find some of the "hate" speech stuff really funny.

Mike Edson

Face book is a private company. so they have the right to edit what is in their site. But I would rather put the speech out for people to see. then they can make up their own mind.

Define hate speech today . . . Anything, and I mean anything that may or can offend someone. Heck, even supporting Trump is considered "hate speech" by Liberals. Where does it end?

We need that money in our own country to help our schools, Medicare and education. Don’t you care about our neighbors and communities?

Dave

That money won't help our neighbors and schools when Iranian nukes start hitting our allies and eventually us! That is their goal as they have stated for years!!

Ka San

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Dave

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.
