Can you clarify on what constitutes a call to violence? The US already has certain criteria that must be met for speech advocating for illegal activity to be illegal, and it's a much much higher bar than speech on here. So what is the bar exactly if not the Brandenburg test?

If I say "kill all X" is that a call to violence even though it's not imminent, non-specific, and not actionable? What if I say something like "traitors should be hanged" or "you should shoot someone trespassing on your property"? What if I say "fight like hell" or "take to the streets"? What about in the context of satire or humor?

These are all questions that need to be answered or the rules will remain ambiguous and prone to bias. I highly doubt you and magnora even have the same idea of what it is. That's a problem.
