This is a non-starter until hate is unambiguously defined.

Unambiguous definitions do not exist outside of mathematics. Furthermore, modern fascist communication strategies rely on existing within this ambiguity.
What constitutes hate?

Should people be permitted to use the word "marijuana" on YouTube? See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igtLqhX4BCA

Should people be permitted to use the "okay" gesture in videos? See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwJgr-4j14E

Should people be permitted to use a swastika in videos? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#Contemporary_use

It seems the fascists are already taking advantage of the ambiguity.
