Atheism is probably considered very nasty in Saudi Arabia. Support for LGBT rights as well. Depicting Mohammad in a cartoon too.
If anything, with a majority of the world population living in illiberal or semi-liberal regimes, we need free speech absolutism more than before.
- mint2 5y agoThat doesn’t follow. In an illiberal country they’ll just ban any large platform that allows anything. How would free speech absolutism on a platform or in some other country have any impact on a state like that?
- inglor_cz 5y agoBanning a platform outright isn't as easy. Some countries like Russia are absolutely willing to do that, but a lot of smaller illiberal countries still need to curry favours with their own population and banning a popular platform will cause some unrest. For example, Turkey banned and unbanned Facebook several times.
