Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands

  Because at this point, I trust the Irish government more than Reddit to make proper moderation judgements.

  It’s not a high bar, and not ideal…

  You are making such a useless point that requires minimal effort or thought. It would be better if you actually shared a tangible concern rather than providing a strawman argument meant to cause an irrational fear in people reading your comment.

  For example, you could have shared which group of people you want to be a protected class and is not by Irish law; or which group of people is currently a protected class by Irish law and should not be. At least, then, you would brought up a real concern about how the Irish government is determining who folks are allowed to hate, because right now all you are doing is fear mongering.

    I oppose letting anyone define hate speech as a matter of principle, because even if I agree with the definition completely now, I may not continue to agree with the definition in the future. Look at what has been happening in the USA since the October 7 attack: a lot of people I had considered my political allies turned out to have beliefs I consider to be hateful, and meanwhile these people consider my own beliefs hateful. The solution is not to empower a single central authority to decide which sort of hate is allowed. It is (as it has always been) to maintain the principle of free speech.

      How about incitements to violence and outright explicit disinformation/misinformation, like:

      • [group] should be [violent act]
      • [group] are [dehumanizing pejorative] that deserve [violent act]
      • [dogwhistle for the actual Nazis, like the 14 words, terminology specifically referencing the Final Solution, etc]
      • [hard r] are [extreme dehumanizing pejorative] and don’t deserve [human rights]
      • [violent or repulsive act] the [slur]
      • “Despite only making up 13%…”
      • “Whites create and forget, [slur]s copy and remember…”
