How to filter hate speech?

[aphar]

Personally, I would prefer unbridled Free Speech, no censorship whatsoever.

However, I admit that many people prefer a more sanitized environment, and their preferences should be respected.

The question arises: what is hate speech?

E.g., is this a scientific statement or hate speech:

There are two biological sexes: male and female

Right now the decision is made by largely anonymous and very politically homogeneous (ahem) "fact checkers", or, worse yet, by some "AI".

Proposal: when a post is reported as "hate speech", it is displayed with a "hate speech suspected" button, and anyone can click "yes" or "no" depending on whether they consider this "HS" or not.

The result would be a "HS" score (based on Wilson score confidence interval).

(Optionally: When the score goes down below 10%, the button disappears and is only shown to users who try to report the post as HS).

Squeamish users can define a threshold, and they will not see posts with HS score above it.

However, no matter what the HS score of the post it, it is never deleted (except by the owner).
