I wasn’t actually asking for advice. But I do think the Swedish idea is brilliant. It offers protection from your cancel culture tyrants. But I am fine with your disagreement. I expected it. Anything else?
[quote] Last week, the Expressen newspaper revealed that a local SD politician had written about “the Jewish plague” on a closed Facebook group, and argued that “Hitler was not wrong about the Jews.”
David Baas, the story’s author, says it is normal for SD activists to post such racist comments in closed forums and on the Russian social media site VK.
“They’ve got two faces: On their public Facebook profiles they don’t write these things, but on VK they write something very different,” he told DW.

Do you agree with my stipulation? We would also need to allow my “non illegal” speech in a Walmart in any way I want. I should be able to take a bullhorn or jump on the PA system to say whatever I want… as long as it isn’t illegal.
Nope. You are not entitled to use the property of a private business for your own amusement. They paid for it. They own it. If you ask them if you can sing a little Bob Marley over the P.A. and they say yes. Then enjoy!
Do you back this horse? What in this statement do you find to be offensive?
“Only illegal content should be deleted from social media. Illegal threats, for example, are just as illegal if they occur on the internet or on the street. Suspensions or removal of content with reference to crime should be subject to review by a Swedish court,”
Oh. I see where you’re going with this. Well played!
Private business are not allowed to discriminate against, race, religion, age, sexual orientation and many other reasons. They should not be allowed to be the thought police either. Free thought is the next civil rights issue.
Too me it’s a civil rights issue. You have zero chance of convincing me to accept your point of view. And I have zero chance of changing your mind. So where are we going from here?
I would be fine with this board using the following standard.
“Only illegal content should be deleted from social media. Illegal threats, for example, are just as illegal if they occur on the internet or on the street. Suspensions or removal of content with reference to crime should be subject to review by a Swedish court,”
