Thousands of UK protestors demand Google censor anti-Islam video
- guylhem 14y agoWere they all yelling "shut up, and play nice - please limit free speech"? Or where the comments and the signs more "threatening" - like using words "violence" and "terrorism", even in quite innocent looking phrases? I wasn't there, but my bet is on #2 What's the rhetoric - free speech and hurting someone feelings is bad, but threatening violence, maiming and killing people is fine? Hey - if you don't like the movies DONT WATCH IT. Nobody is forcing no-one to go to youtube. The movie is bad and didn't catch a lot of attention since its upload in JUNE. Yet suddenly everyone is in a frenzy about it. Coincidence? Free speech is indeed in danger in Europe.
- jug6ernaut 14y agoI love how they are bringing more attention to this video then it would have gotten if they had just left it alone. I for one could careless about this video, but bc of this "protest" im im simi interested in it, still will not watch it. With that said, I can only see them wanting to take this down to keep it from being viewed by their own(faith). As like i said no one else should even care. If this is true it breaks up a whole new set of questions which i will not ask...
- guylhem 14y agoRight - that's the Streisand effect perfectly illustrated. Free speech is here to allow competing ideas to be judged on their own merits. If one has a faith, what can a simple video do? On the other hand, if there are some flaws in the faith, it might be worth pointing them out.
