Social media posts inciting hate and division have “real world consequences” and there is a responsibility to regulate content, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, insisted on Friday, following Meta’s decision to end its fact-checking programme in the United States.

    It’s literally censorship, but I argue it’s acceptable - even desirable and laudable - censorship

          @Ledivin actions against discriminating someone for their racial, sexual, ethnic belonging are in line with constitutional demands
