Which part of that statement are you referring to? The rules are the First Amendment, stated here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23224929

The fact that hate speech is subjective is evidenced by my questions which examine just how loose and vague the definitions are. There still is no clear answer on what hate speech is, beyond the 1st Amendment which I think is good enough.

If you mean something else, then please state what it is that's unsubstantiated.

The part where you say "The solution is..." and then don't substantiate it, but instead focus on knocking down other solutions. That other solutions have problems does not make your one any better.

(At least in this comment you are providing a qualifier ("I think..."))

My solution is a lack of implementing any of the solutions, therefore that's the only focus there is. Freedom (by the 1A) instead of vague, complicated and heavy-handed policies that are currently causing an American company to side with an authoritarian regime.

I don't claim that the 1A has no problems, but it does have less problems and that's still an improvement, and it has worked for more than a century for this great nation.

What other evidence would you like to see?

What do you mean by "other" evidence? You didn't provide any.

> but it does have less problems

Unsubstantiated claim.

> and it has worked for more than a century for this great nation

Unsubstantiated claim.

To respond in a manner similar to your other comments:

What does "worked" mean? How is it an improvement? How does it have fewer problems? Where exactly did it work in whatever great nation you're thinking of. Have you considered where it didn't work? What is the metric for "worked"?
