Literally no one I'm sure, but we have laws about hate speech for a reason. By your logic, no one can arrest or punish a criminal, because they aren't perfect themselves.
No one is policing your thoughts, but if you say something harmful then that could be a problem

"Hate speech" is a nebulous concept. I actually wrote a paper about it for a class lol. IMO speech restrictions by governments should be unambiguous.

No; I think it's more along the lines of it being a bad idea for the power to limit speech to be concentrated in any one person or group of people, due to the inherent fallibility of humans.

"Hate speech" is a nebulous concept. I actually wrote a paper about it for a class lol. IMO speech restrictions by governments should be unambiguous.

To clarify, hate speech is defined as:
"abusive or threatening speech or writing that expresses prejudice on the basis of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or similar grounds"
It isn't only this which has to be controlled, it's also misinformation.
To prevent political debate, for example, conspiracies about chicken feed.
If someone makes a claim that chicken feed is bad, and a person should instead feed their birds only beans, with no evidence to support that claim- this would be harmful, as it spreads misinformation and would lead to unhealthy poultry.

Just an example. But we should move away from this topic, and remember that what I said in context was about a person who was upset over April Fools

"...words can lead to... harmful beliefs...."

Harmful beliefs which result in harmful actions, and abusive speech. Sorry I phrased that badly. I need more coffee

Are you saying it would be wrong to prevent abusive and prejudiced speech?

@TudyBOT can chickens smell blood?

@TudyBOT can chickens smell blood?

No, chickens do not have a sense of smell and therefore cannot detect blood by scent. However, chickens have keen eyesight and can pick up on visual cues such as movement, color, and light. This also means that they can be attracted to bright red colors like blood, but only because it stands out to them visually and not because of its smell.

Good question!

Good question!

As I mentioned earlier, Chickens do not have a sense of smell. But they do have an excellent vision to detect any sudden movements in their surroundings which can indicate the presence of predators or danger. If there is blood or if a chicken is injured, other chickens may peck at the injured chicken due to the bright color of the blood, but not because they can smell it. It is always a good idea to isolate an injured chicken until it is healed to prevent further injuries from other chickens.

There are a lot of definitions of hate speech.
