Facebook and Twitter can now do that themselves. Why do we actually need judges when it's so easy. Uncomfortable content is to be censored and deleted within 24 hours, and in cases that are more difficult to decide, action is to be taken against it within seven days. Those who repeatedly and systematically fail to comply with this requirement face fines in the millions, i.e. the platform operator. In the law does not say what exactly is hate speech now.
