While I sympathize with the author, he can rest assured (sort of) that nobody’s going to come after him or his “dinky little free WordPress site.”
The goal is far more sinister than that. The actual point is simply to establish a precedent that people can be prosecuted for online content that is not in and of itself illegal. Sexual content was just a way to get the religious chucklefucks on board, and to hide a dangerous precedent behind a merely controversial mask.
The ultimate goal is simply to establish the precedent that a government can criminalize the dissemination online of content that’s entirely legal in and of itself. Using this ruling as a precedent, governments can and will criminalize whatever content they want, and it should go without saying that the content they’re going to most certainly criminalize is any and all content critical of themselves.
So the author can likely relax. There will undoubtedly be a few test cases so that they can get appealed up to a court that’s corrupt enough to uphold the government’s position and further cement and/or expand the precedent, but that’ll be it, because then they’ll turn their attention to the far more important (to them) task of silencing political opposition.
Talks of free speech coming from a Substack account is laughable. “Free to spread Nazi propaganda” is what they mean.
Substack actively helps platform and monetize Nazi content. They enable Nazi rhetoric to spread and to earn money off their racism.
I mean is allowing Nazi speech not a commitment to free speech, shitty as that may be? I wish both substack and nazis painful deaths but your post doesn’t exactly make sense.
Wait Sunstack is a Nazi platform?
They allow nazis on their platform is what he’s saying
Said the person calling for a group of people to get killed SMH
That’s what Nazis do.
Said the person with a smooth brain. You want to carry water for right wingers and nazis feel free idiot
Slurp that boot more tankie shithead.
Let me guess you also own guns that statistically you are more likely to kill yourself with than shoot a Nazi.
Let me guess you’re a worthless shitlib who enables Nazis and hates “tankies” making you literally no better than the former. Oh look I was right
Absolutely not! Free speech is:
protected from government restrictions by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, many state constitutions, and state and federal laws.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech_in_the_United_States
It does not mean you get to be a platform of hate mongers and a haven for Nazis.
if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.
That’s the US definition of free speech. Yes good job.
Yes and here is the Canadian:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_expression_in_Canada
“reasonable and can be justified in a free and democratic society" Hate speech (which refers to the advocacy and incitement of genocide or violence against a particular defined racial, ethnic, gender, sexual, religious or other identifiable group)
Nazis are not protected under this one either. See paradox of tolerance.
“Freedom of speech” covers government censorship of criticism about itself. Nothing more.
Freedom of speech does not mean you get to platform Nazis without being called a POS and eventually ending up in the Hague.
Edit: just saw your post about wishing death to all British politicians… yeah they are filth but cut it out with the calls for killing an entire group of people… That’s what Nazis do ffs
Durrr don’t call for the deaths of people who bring death and destitution on others. Shut the fuck up you dumbass lib
Bwahahahahah poor little tankie got lost. Go back to .ml loser
From linking basic Wikipedia for “free speech” to “tankie” insults im about to hit worthless shitlib bingo lol
