Is it really just listed as one word? What's the legal definition of hate?

Whatever the current government says it means. What did you think it meant?

Hate is whatever I don't like.

> hate

which is an umbrella term for everything that the government does not like right now, and does not mind jailing you for. In other words, it's their way to kill the freedom of expression.

From that list I don't see HN being affected, although I read somewhere that a report button on user generated content was required to comply for smaller sites.

I think it's hard to make the case for anything other than a pretty tiny group or organisation that that you can get away without having some reporting and moderation process.

I don't think you need a report button but a known way of reporting things by your users is likely going to be required if you have a load of user generated stuff that's not moderated by default.
