Proposal Would Empower Feds to Scour Internet, TV for Hate Speech

Proposal Would Empower Feds to Scour Internet, TV for Hate Speech | Fox News Insider:
"A new proposal would empower the feds to scour the Internet, TV and more for so-called hate speech.
Democratic Sen. Ed Markey is pushing a bill to have a federal agency monitor anything that it suspects may encourage hate crimes. 
He wants the agency to work in connection with the Department of Justice and U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, then file a report to Congress on what’s hateful and could lead to hate crimes.
So, who gets to decide what’s hateful and what will they then do about it?"
