The problem is who defines what is hate - don't trust a govt to make that - they are the last people I would trust.
We have no solution in this age - it was easy in the older days when consensus was reached within a village on what was bad for the community and you got either got tarred and feathered or thrown out.
I am honestly dumbfounded about the government hate on HN. It's elected by you and your peers. You can influence it and you can even be part of it yourself. If you want change do it and stop spreading FUD.
Our city council recently replaced all the street lights with new LED lights - one of our neighbors is convinced it is 5G - this is the same person who votes as well.
Govt is generally a low quality effort until it comes around to election time and then carefully crafted slogans and media and the majority of voters fall for it every time.
Democracy is best system we have but sometimes the outcomes is less than desirable.

Right. Centralization of morals and ethics simply causes mass polarization and, eventually and inevitably, war over "which side wins." Those in favor of the rational gray area will be trampled on by both sides.
