>Do your utmost to ensure that your infrastructure is not utilised to enable hate speech
In my experience this often means censoring speech for ideological reasons. For example, saying that biological sex is real and "gender" is fake (which doesn't mean that trans people don't have human rights and freedoms) is often considered "hate speech" by "trans allies".
