The words "safety", "hateful", and "harm" are triggering me, but realistically this isn't much different than the algorithms that search engines or parental control filters already use, with a fresh coat of Buzzword Paint slapped on top and sold as a new SaaS.
The fact that it's adaptive as well as automated is the concerning part. With static automated censorship it was relatively straightforward to communicate concepts via workaround, and with manual adaptive censorship there's an element of "can't censor us all" that lets a community spread the word inside itself if it's important enough to them.
Overcoming both played a key part in the genesis of GG back in the day. But this AI, if it's good enough at it's job, will be able to wipe information from communities so quickly and effectively you'll have no idea anything ever happened no matter how hard you look.

This will ensure that the next generation can NEVER discuss vaccine harms nor lies that lead us into false wars (basically every war since ww2)
Unfortunately right now the far left on other websites LOVE censorship.
We need to show them it impacts their everyday life too :
Want an 8th month abortion? Banned from discussing it if you live in red states.
Want to smoke marijuana in bed before your mom wakes up? This technology will ban you from finding a new source using codewords online.
Want to organize a nightly riot in portland? Big tech will stop it.
Lol lies didn't get us into ww2? All the lying began after the great holocaust origin story of our wretched modern system.
