Really ought to be named "A survey of Worldwide Electronic Censorship Techniques". The article doesn't address where most censorship takes place, at the propaganda and legal levels.
- __jambo 4y agowhat are "legal levels"?
- causi 4y agoIn some places men from the government will show up at your house to punish you for going online and saying gamer words.
- flangola7 4y agoGamer words? "I need more diamond ore?"
- causi 4y agoCurses, slurs, etc.
- flangola7 4y agoWhat? I don't see your point then. Hate criminals should obviously should be punished for using slurs.
- sneed_chucker 4y agoUnkind words shouldn't be a crime in and of themselves - that includes slurs. It makes sense to criminalize stated threats of violence or persistent targeted harassment, but generally free societies should err on the side of not criminalizing speech if possible.
- flangola7 3y agoMy nation and the elders of my family historically responded to proponents of hate ideologies with hot lead and HE artillery shells. Letting them get off with nothing more than a minor criminal record is an extremely generous offer.
- causi 4y agoPersonally I refuse to live in a country where thought-crime is prosecuted.
- flangola7 3y agoHate criminals don't deserve life, much less speech. Every day is a good day to beat a nazi.
