For example, you can't publish news in Sweden/Finland/Germany that can be interpreted as anti-feminist or has an anti-refugees sentiment.
This soft pressure is hard to quantify because as a journalist you would lose your job and be accused of various things if you attempted to publish something like that.
- kbart 10y agoWhere did you get such information? I don't know about anti-feministm, but I've seen plenty of anti-refugees articles both in Swedish and German. Moreover, Pegida (openly anti-refugees and anti-islamisation) is an officially registered association in Germany. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegida https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegida
- throwaway122916 10y agoDidn't know this. Thanks.
- otheotheothe 10y agoSorry thats pure non sense, you can publish whatever you want in germany (and i guess the other countries too...) as long as it isn´t hatespeech etc. There are books for sale like the ones from Thilo: Sarrazin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thilo_Sarrazin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thilo_Sarrazin Which are full of anti immigration speech and whatever...
- throwaway122916 10y agoInteresting. Thanks. Wasn't aware
- bluGill 10y agoWhat is hatespeach? That in itself chills a lot of possible stories. Anything anti-feminist, is hate speech - it might or not be true.
- herbst 10y agoCurious. Where did you even get that from?
