Seems your cursor was on 'Read about the Concept', which will tell you that - though Big Tech is a problem - it's motivated by consumer interests and thus tries to behave, at least in such a way that the consumer seems to think about them. If they don't behave, consumers can sometimes choose alternative options.

The correct answer is indeed hate speech, as it's the major problem for groups/entities that try to offer internet free speech rights. Just ask /u/magnora7, who said as much almost 2 years ago.

Does Hate Speech have a marketing campaign like Big Tech?

Absolutely.

It's an essential tool of right-wing misinformation campaigns (which are also part of BigTech's bread and butter; spreading hatred is lucrative, as we know when looking at the many new right-wing/authoritarian misinformation websites in the past 5 years [eg. parler.com, communities.win and other bigot websites]. d3rr has also quipped that Tump killed Saidit, because the pro-Trump subs banned from Reddit [for hate speech] made their own pro-Trump websites, sucking users from those subs and alternative sites like Saidit. There are left-wing websites that can be misleading, but they seem to be focused only on human rights, animal rights, saving whales, climate change, freeing political prisoners, rape counseling, Amn[e]sty International, UN Council on Peace and Social Concerns, and all of those helpful approaches that address other forms of hatred, hate speech and abuses of innocent people).

Well fuck - I've been contaminated by pro-authoritarian websites. Now corrected, and I now recall a comment by d3rr, which I've now added.

Should be called Am Nasty. They've had multiple suicides due to bullying within the org and have sold women down the river to get money from arab dictators.
