'More experts: Of course, our systems are only as good as the the data they’re based on.

This makes me cringe. Every single one of these organisations consists of people with specific political views of acceptable and not acceptable content.
In Europe, the 'no hate speech' idea has very quickly expanded the concept of hate speech to include any rightwing opinion around certain topics (mostly religion and immigration related).
More people feel disenfranchised and excluded from the discourse, more grandstanding around fighting hate speech where the existence of countless organisations, consultants, experts and so forth can only be justified by uncovering more hate speech. Quite literally the growth of their economy requires expansion of the concept. The divide continues.
