The article is very disappointing to me.. Especially since it seems to lead to Orwell's 1984. Thought police, anyone? The problem with this article is as follows:

1. There is no such thing as hate speech, only censorship.

2. Who decides what constitutes hate speech? Half the country thinks Trump has had numerous instances where he has said hate speech, the other half of the country doesn't. This one is particular telling because you are putting the ability to decide moral relativism into the hands of a particular group of people whose political ideologies could vary from anarchist to Socialist, collectivist to individualist. There is no logical aggregate that can be used to measure this.

3. This can be used as a political tool to denigrate the integrity of self-proclaimed opposition.

There's just so many things that are wrong with this. A suppression of rights is never the answer when trying to protect the feelings of a few.. It's truly sad what this world is becoming
