I recently reported a hate speech targeted at Indian minority (not Muslim). The text literally had gen$c!d3 threats and other usual trigger words in it, and there were like copy paste of same post in thousands (probably a campaign). Facebook replied "does not violate their conditions blah blah".

Just curious, why did you write “gen$c!d3”? The options I can think of are:

1. You’re worried that a script on HN will delete your comment, similar to how this seems to work on YouTube

2. You’re censoring that word to avoid “triggering” people

3. You’re copying verbatim an excerpt from the hate speech you’re referencing

I’m asking in earnest; I honestly don’t know which of those three (or any other option?) it is.

People are hardwired to censor some words like that (like cov!d) precisely because of 1

I guess it very much depends on the minority in question, FB like the government only responds to "mi orities" with street veto or global muscle power.

The reports are useless. I guess the reviewers have to achieve some KPI and have to just click past reports to have a chance.
