The War on Free Speech

Post by BDKJMU »

The War on Free Speech could be under the Culture Wars thread, but really deserves a thread of its own.

In Europe UK arresting people over Facebook posts and now the arrest of the Telegram founder is a disturbing trend that’s coming coming to the US:
..peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard..
..But you have to go home now. We have to have peace…
..I know how you feel, but go home, and go home in peace.

Just more reasons to hate govt, which has no business trying to censor Americans.

The trump russia stuff was not made up bullshit.
- russia regularly interferes in US and other elections.
- There were connections between donald's campaign and russia.

A lack of convictions doesn't mean nothing happened. It could mean that there just wasn't enough evidence or what happened wasn't serious enough to merit a conviction.

It's very similar to many of the allegations against hunter biden. There is enough stink there to believe something happened but not enough evidence to convict.

I didn't realize drug trafficking and child porn fell under free speech.

Telegram knows its platform is being used for illicit stuff and do nothing about it under the guise of "free speech." I'm ok with this arrest. When you're not even trying to remove/limit illegal content, then don't be surprised when the law catches up to you.

We arrest people for knowing their friend diddled a kid and not reporting it; why is this any different?

Let’s say a Walmart manager knows ten of his customers are running a child porn ring in the store. They even use Walmart’s WiFi and other employees know about it too.

The manager goes, “well it’s not problem they are distributing child porn in my store, as long as I have nothing to do with it. And all you other employees, it’s not your problem too…please continue with your job.”

Now imagine they’ve known for years. The law finally finds out about the ring AND that the manager knew about it for years. What should they do?

This is the scenario with Telegram.

Now imagine yourself as manager…how do YOU handle it?

Still does my address what’s going on in the UK, or lying by the FBI to social media over Hunter’s laptop, or the Biden/Harris admin pressuring social media companies to censor during Covid.

Welcome to the club Trip. I'd be more worried about what kind of person I was if bobskat didn't think I was "one seriously fucked up individual".
