What specifically is illegal about pro-ISIS speech?
- prepend 5y agoCalls to violence, images of chopped off heads, etc. If it’s literally just assholes saying “ISIS is great” then that shouldn’t be taken down. Just like if two ISIS-lovers are IMing each other messages about how much they love ISIS and nothing else illegal it should be allowed. I think.
- joshuamorton 5y agoIn the US, images of chopped off heads aren't illegal. Calls to violence are illegal, but only in very particular circumstances that it's unlikely ISIS propoganda videos would meet
- mullingitover 5y agoExactly this. A lot of the conservative angst about having their speech moderated on private platforms would vanish if they realized the baggage that came along with what they were asking for. The first amendment is extremely permissive, only very narrow limits are allowed and 99% of pro-ISIS speech is perfectly legal.
