RE: Weird Limits On Free Speech

in #freespeech7 years ago

Katerwurst, that is exactly what I was thinking! You don’t have to make denial of the earth being round illegal, people will just laugh at you and call you crazy if you go around saying the earth is flat. I just wonder what is behind it in European countries to make denying a fact illegal. The next step may not have happened yet, but what could be the next step? The government making some other speech illegal, like criticism of government officials?

Sort:  

It certainly opens a road in that direction. But censorship is common practice already. Just look at Twitter or Facebook, you can basically get anything removed by claiming it is hatespeech or it offends you. god damn it, there is no right to be not offended by something.
