Very few people are against hate speech, most people are only against hate speech that targets groups they feel alligned with. As a result you would see many people turn the switch on only to go and write a diatrabe against a group that they feel is a fair target.

I certainly don’t want hateful media in my news feed. In my proposed solution nothing stops you from posting hate speech but it’s one button to filter all hate speech on the receiving end. I would suspect that hate speech gets fantastic engagement and wider audience than required.
