I asked Claude to map out European countries that don't prosecute their citizens for 'hatespeech' and Claude refused, arguing it will not help people evade hatespeech convictions. How long before Claude will actively help governments prosecute users for thoughtcrimes?

Hate speech causes real harm – and has no place in our societies. Although it may take many forms, the consequences of hate and intolerance are real and painful. We can all take action by challenging hate wherever we may see it.

Anti-Indian hate speech is pushing some voters away from the GOP, giving Democrats an opening to win them over. “We’re seeing more energy because of what is happening,” one Indian-American organizer said.

Belgian man convicted of hate speech describes the judicial rationale for his latest conviction. I asked Gemini: Is this man's account of his conviction accurate? Gemini replied that it was grossly inaccurate. So, I copied and pasted Gemini's response, and asked Grok to reply to it. Grok told me that Gemini was mixing up two different cases, and that the tweet was an accurate representation of the latest judicial proceeding against Van Langenhove. I went back to Gemini, and asked it to reply to what Grok had just told me, and it responded: "Grok is completely correct. I mixed up the cases, and I appreciate the correction." As I've tweeted in the past: This sort of thing happens all the time.

NEWS: X sued New York over a hate speech law and lost In December 2024 New York passed the Stop Hiding Hate Act. It applies to social media companies making $100M or more a year. Twice a year they file a report with the state attorney general explaining how they handle hate speech, extremism, harassment, foreign interference and disinformation. The law does not tell them to remove anything. Only to explain their own rules and report the numbers. Ignore it and the fine runs up to $15,000 per violation per day. It was written by Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Grace Lee with help from the Anti-Defamation League. Their letter said Musk and X had a "disturbing record" on moderation "that threatens the foundations of our democracy." X sued on 17 June 2025 in Manhattan federal court and named attorney general Letitia James. X argued the law forces it to talk about "highly sensitive and controversial speech" the state dislikes. "This is not a role that the government may play." X had real reason to expect a win. It ran this same play against California's nearly identical AB 587 and it worked. On 4 September 2024 the Ninth Circuit blocked the core reporting parts of that law. California settled in February and agreed not to enforce them. New York went the other way. On 26 August Judge John Cronan, a Trump appointee, threw the case out with prejudice. X cannot rewrite it and try again in his court. His reasoning was that the law asks for facts, not opinions. "Burger King chooses to generally offer higher-calorie items than, say, Sweetgreen, but the disclosure of calorie information remains purely factual. So too here." He also rejected X's separate claim that Section 230 blocks the law. Neither X nor the attorney general's office would comment. No appeal has been reported yet. The same argument wins in California and loses in New York. That is why the next move matters.

24hrs after sheikh Yahaya made that hate speech against Nigerian Christians, the presidency has been quiet; Neither Bayo Onanugu nor Daniel Bwala has been able to utter a word. Nobody from the presidency has written or spoken to condemn the clerics and the two governors.
