The general definition of hate speech that opens each platform's rules, in every version captured since 2022. Where a platform states it twice, as a one-line rule in its overview and at the top of its hate policy page, both are shown together as one document. Highlights mark its parts and the redline shows what changed. Below it: which protected groups each platform stopped or started naming, with the sentence behind every change.
Words per part, version by version, to the same scale for every platform.
Protected groups the platform stopped or started naming in its hate rules, new or removed exceptions that name a group, and rules naming a group that were removed or narrowed, each with the text behind it. Rules that were only reworded, split or moved to another policy are left out. Newest first.
Rules that were added, removed or rewritten, beyond the group changes above. Every added and removed sentence was checked against the rules on the other side of the change, so rewordings and moves are left out. Strengthened: the rules now cover more. Weakened: they cover less.
