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

Oakley Taylor

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?

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
