- diminoten 12y agoThe reason the US doesn't have hate speech laws are pretty much the same as the reasoning given in this ruling. It's just a matter of how far a culture is willing to push these ideas.
- ta82828 12y agoThe reason I brought it up is because the quoted text seemed to boast that Indian courts protect freedom of speech more strongly than U.S. courts. On a second reading, however, I have no idea what that text is actually trying to say.
- GauntletWizard 12y agoI think your initial reading is right; Whether the judges are correct with their dig at the US's concept of freedom of speech is a matter of debate.
