Who knew that Sweden and Poland would be leading the fight for free speech?

Ok. So you believe this board, a private entity, can and should remove posts it deems offensive. Do I have that correct?

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,”

Ok. So if you created a board for talking politics, you would be fine with me going in there and insulting you with every post. And then inviting a bunch of friends who all wanted to discuss the supremacy of whites. The board you created slowly becomes the new board for recruiting white supremacists.

You’re fine with that?

Maybe look up who Breitbart is reporting on before advocating for their proposals?

I read the proposal. And I like it. It makes sense to me. It would not favor any organization.

You’re overthinking this. I already explained why I like the idea. I’m not interested in taking a purity test. You know my opinion on the topic.

Not if the assertion is true

Should this speech not be tolerated?

Libs want to determine who they think is a racist and then censor those people.

All business owners are libs?

Liberal hate speech is the only thing they have to fall back on.

how do you define liberal hate speech?

@WuWei

Let’s not use that term please. I suggest “fascist”. Wouldn’t want to drift into a TOS violation.

What would we categorize a Swedish political party that was founded by Neo NAZIs as?

Neo-Nazis is not a TOS violation. Nazis is. It’s a thin line, but it’s a line.

I would categorize both as fascists. Like I said.

You don’t need to apply Godwin’s Law to make a point.

I’ve asked nicely and explained it. Don’t do it again.

Not a nice try. You know exactly what this is. We’ve been conditioned to public accommodation. The line was crossed in 1964.

Twitter is not in violation of public accommodation.

Sure they are. The intent of it.

No they are not

You are free to think whatever.

You are not free to force a private company to publish your thoughts.

This isn’t hard.

The Swedish party in question in OP is the Swedish Democrats.

They were founded by Neo NAZIs and even after years of assurances that they are weeding out the racists… they haven’t. They are still up to their eyeballs in Neo NAZIs.

So how is calling that out “Godwin’s law” since we are taking about actual NAZIs?

Mod Note

Neo-Nazis are one thing. Nazis are another. Let it go.

I am not surprised that a political party that has a neo Nazi problem would want to force private platforms to carry their message.

Not surprised at all.

please explain how any party has a “neo nazi” problem

The Sweden Democrats were founded in 1988 by avowed neo-Nazis. This isn’t narrative- this is history.

They “moderated” themselves in an attempt to gain broader appeal in the 1990s, but the Neo-Nazis are back (they never really left…just were shuffled to the background).

Many here, of course, will believe none of this.

Because yes- it is an Age of Narratives…and the Age of The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend.

But you are free to force a private company to serve you?

This is a natural progression.

The actual group is that, they don’t hide it. He didn’t call anyone here that.

It is wild.

Modern day free speech heroes Poland’s Law and Order Party, Viktor Orban and Swedish Neo NAZIs.

Why are they heroes? They want to force a private platform to carry their speech for free.

The world is upside down.
