A recent study has uncovered a surprising level of agreement between political parties on the issue of hate speech censorship.

Both Democrats and Republicans agree that hate speech targeting Blacks and Jews should be censored more frequently than those targeting Whites or Palestinians .

The study employed an online survey experiment with a sample of 3,357 participants, carefully matched to reflect the demographic makeup of the United States .

Democrats and Republicans agreed on which types of hate speech should be censored.

But a study found a significant divide in how much censorship each group supported.

Democrats were more likely to support censoring posts made by elected officials.

The study highlights a gap in how partisans perceive each other’s attitudes toward hate speech.
