“Anti-hate is a code word for anti-white,” said another.

“Hate speech has no place on YouTube. We’ve invested heavily in teams and technology dedicated to removing hateful comments / videos,” said YouTube in response to the shutdown of the livestream chat. “Due to the presence of hateful comments, we disabled comments on the livestream of today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.”
While YouTube was able to shut down the official Congressional committee livestream, hate speech continued to be postedin unofficial livestream chats covering the hearing.
Along with witnesses from civil rights groups and conservative activists, Facebook also had a representative from its public policy team in attendance.
