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

What they espouse is not liberalism.

Or maybe you’re caught in a time warp? This from Wikipedia.

Under the leadership of Jimmie Åkesson, the SD underwent a process of reform by expelling hard-line members and moderating its platform. Today, the Sweden Democrats officially reject both fascism and Nazism.

No question that happens.

But many in the Swden Democrats actually ARE Neo-Nazis…the party was founded by them.

News flash- the neo-Nazis are back.
Second news flash- they never really went away…just were forced into the background.

The government should provide a social media platform that follows these guidelines. A public option for internet services should satisfy all sides of this issue.

Nope.

Ahh… now you are taking the time to learn who Breitbart was holding up.

Yeah… keep reading about them past the Wikipedia.

News flash- they’re back.
I beat you to posting this by several posts- because I knew it would be posted as a “defense”.

In your dreams.

I beat you to telling you what your actual posts would be about. Please refer to post #1.

Twitter said Soylu’s tweet, as well as another from the weekend that used the same phrase, violated its rules about hateful conduct. The site said it did not take down the posts because there was potential public interest in keeping them accessible.

Emphasis mine.

I think this is the way to handle it, although a case can be made that the dictionary definition fits. It is obvious what his intent was.

Notice they didn’t ban him or even remove the post.

Not needed. Public accommodation laws are in effect.

I’m pretty sure my ability to research matters exceeds yours.

It’s been proved many times on these boards.

But thanks for your concern. :sunglasses:

The Democrat Party here.

There have been several here as well.

Should fascist speech and philosophy be repressed in a liberal society?

Especially if it is not illegal? And if it is not illegal, should it be made so?

Twitter can carry any speech that it wants.

It can even apply it’s standards unevenly.

Their playground… their rules.

People don’t like it… make their own playground.

Interesting…and yet so predictable.
