    It means the same as it meant for X and Facebook. Allowing hate speech against minorities currently being targeted by the American government (mostly Latin immigrants and LGBTQ+, especially trans, people as well as racism and sexism in general), in exchange for dropping investigations against them. They’ll lose a small percentage of users, but get to maintain their monopoly powers, privacy violations, and other illegal activities.

      Do you consider referring to a trans woman as a man to be hate speech?

    I’ll believe it when I see it. This sounds like lip service to their user base while actually appeasing their overlords.

    Hoping for the best, expecting attacks on science while still demonetizing videos talking about climate change in geography
