Is it “hate speech” to tell NRA supporters to “f*** off”? One
high-profile user got banned (supposedly permanently) by Twitter for
doing this sort of thing ... only to have the ban reversed, simply
because there was so much support for his position.

Seems like, when it comes to social media services clamping down on
hate speech, they are simultaneously doing “not enough” and “too
much”...
