YouTube, Facebook, Twitter adopt uniform ‘hate speech’ standards for censoring content By Calvin Freiburger for Life Site News
GNN Note – How long is a piece of string? The same question applies to the definition of “hate speech”. The term “hate speech” is redefined every.single.time. it is used. These so-called “uniform standards” will be expanded over and over and over and over. Was Jussie Smallet ever charge with a ruining peoples lives that he hired to fake a crime in Chicago in early 2019? No, he was not. What about the corrupt to the core Kim Fox, the DA that was sponsored by George Soros and received a call from Michelle Obama when the fake hate crime was exposed. Was she discharged? No again. #END
Is this a pretext to further censor mainstream right-of-center views, in light of a body of evidence accumulated in recent years regarding Big Tech’s anti-conservative bias?

With the next presidential election less than two months away, the world’s largest internet and information companies have reached an agreement to adopt a single set of criteria for identifying and removing supposedly “hateful” or “bullying” content from their platforms.
On Wednesday the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) announced that the online giants “have agreed to adopt a common set of definitions for hate speech and other harmful content and to collaborate with a view to monitoring industry efforts to improve in this critical area.”
The agreement, which follows months of advertisers pressuring Facebook to take an even more aggressive role in suppressing “hate,” encompasses uniform definitions and reporting standards as well as commitments to independent oversight and advertising management.
“The issue of harmful content online has become one of the challenges of our generation,” WFA CEO Stephan Loerke said. “As funders of the online ecosystem, advertisers have a critical role to play in driving positive change and we are pleased to have reached agreement with the platforms on an action plan and timeline in order to make the necessary improvements. A safer social media environment will provide huge benefits not just for advertisers and society but also to the platforms themselves.”
