- rich_sasha 2y agoNo, you can't, but also theres is no reason why the law about allow these to be up. Plenty of people have racist thoughts, and that's not illegal (thoughts in general aren't), but go print a bunch of leaflets inciting racist violence and that is illegal. I see this as an internet analogy.
- mjburgess 2y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Quran_burnings_in_Sweden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Quran_burnings_in_Sweden Does burning a religious book "incite violence" ? It causes it, for sure. Free expression brings about, in the fanatic, a great desire to oppress the speaker. That's why we have such a freedom in the first place.
- thorncorona 2y agoIt seems though that allowing a country which already has problems with “lawful free speech,” to tamp down more on free speech would bring issues no? Without mentioning the oxymoron that lawful free speech is.
- staticautomatic 2y agoYes, incitement is illegal, but you haven't said what kind of speech you actually have in mind. Rather, you've made a tautological assertion that we can't allow incitement because incitement is illegal.
- mschuster91 2y ago> You can’t make them go away by preventing existentially purposeless people from talking to each other. At least you can limit the speed of radicalization. Every village used to have their village loon, he was known and ignored to ridiculed. But now all the loons talk to each other and constantly reinforce their bullshit, and on top of that they begin to draw in the normies.
