Where Should Tech Draw The Line?
In the wake of recent controversial events, exemplified by the violence in Charlottesville, many tech companies have become the “reluctant arbiter of the line where free speech crosses into hate speech”, as NBC describes. With the current political theater shining a light on these deep-rooted issues, companies and organizations feel pressured to define what they stand for.
This dilemma poses the question: How involved should tech companies and organizations be in deciding the moral standard between hate speech and freedom of speech?
