You didn't specify the laws you were referring to in your previous post. Very dangerous 'hate speech laws' have been creeping into society recently. Dangerous precisely because they are vague in nature, and open to interpretation(which should NEVER be the case when it comes to law). Open to interpretation means open to being misused. And when individuals in society can be targeted as a result of some bogus interpretation of some vague 'hate speech' law, then we are in SERIOUS TROUBLE INDEED. You may have heard of the phrase 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions', and this translates perfectly when it comes to hate speech laws. They 'sound' nice when looked at on the surface, but dig a little deeper, and you will understand that they are fundamentally evil and they only guarantee persecution and tyranny. When it's a choice between persecution and tyranny, and having to put up with some speech that you may find offensive, i'm choosing the latter every time.
pointless unless you can specify the exact types of speech that are not allowed under the law
Our attitude to free speech in the West worked for decades. It is only since the Left has started to lose ground to Populist forces that the losing Left has resorted to attacking free speech. It is a dangerous tactic and one that is likely to end in failure
I articulated that i would want my last meal to be nothing. I would refuse to eat. You did not articulate that forcing a last meal was a requisite. So, while you may disagree, i believe my point to be wholly legitimate. Unless, of course, you require that as a prerequisite that anyone who comments on the thread should be pro death penalty, in which case you should state so.
Social media selective censorship/de-platforming/demonetization is going to be the biggest issue ahead of 2020. The threat of election interference is extremely real.
Anti-trust probes have been opened against big tech, but it could be too late regards 2020. People are going to have to take to the streets and organize mass BOYCOTT if these companies are going to listen.
The targeting of conservative/right-leaning voices has been going on for a long time already, if this kind of ideological/political targeting continues, there will be MAJOR backlash. These companies are calling themselves platforms yet acting like publishers. And since they have a monopoly on speech online, it is absolutely vital they are held to account.
If i thought you were arguing in good faith, i'd reply direct to the garbage you spewed above. But i don't think you are, so i won't
Pray that you will see what is going on all the same
Trump is here for a purpose. He is an imperfect man(as are we all). But his purpose is to unearth evil, and day by day evil is exposing itself ever gradually more. All is happening as it is supposed
