Although I think she had one valid comment regarding the overuse of antidepressants. In any case, I wouldn't call it "hate speech".

Well, it’s not up to you.  It’s up to Twitter.  Or do you assume free speech implies the ability to say whatever you want on someone else’s platform?  Before asking for a definition of hate speech perhaps look up freedom of speech yourself.

I'm aware of what free speech means. I'm not disputing Twitter's decision, I don't know what their rules are, I don't really care, and it's a private platform anyway.  My point is that labeling something as "hate speech" is very vague and in most cases it sounds like "opinions that oppose mine". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
