Before you say, "It can't happen here"...

California just passed a "Hate Crime" bill allowing someone to be sued for $1 million for online postings deemed "hate speech" - questioning unlimited immigration, trans surgeries on children, etc.

SACRAMENTO — California Senate Bill 771, officially titled the “Social Media Accountability Act,” has emerged as a significant legislative effort to regulate the role of social media platforms in amplifying ‘harmful content’. Authored by State Senator Henry Stern (D), the bill was recently enrolled and presented to Governor Gavin Newsom on September 22, 2025, marking a pivotal moment in its legislative journey.

As the state grapples with issues of ‘online hate speech’ and its societal impact, SB 771 proposes a framework to hold large social media companies accountable, sparking both support and contention.

I think the British legal system starts with the assumption that everything said about Islam by a non-muslim citizen will offend fragile Muslim sensibilities. Therefore, anything said is an incitement to violence (by Muslims). Is that about right?

Newsom has until 10/13/2025 to sign the bill. He has not signed yet.

For every one person jailed under these laws, 5000 will voluntarily censor themselves. That’s the sad part.

And as you noted, TC, it can happen here. I think (hope) the Supreme Court will strike down that California law. But that won’t stop the leftists. They’ll keep on trying.

Didn’t someone already send some time in prison for a Hillary meme post on Twitter?

When we visited Spain, a dictatorship, in 1965, we were warned to watch our mouths lest we say anything bad about Spain's caudillo Francisco Franco, which could get you arrested. Now, that has come to Britain, and it's coming here.

First, Newsom isn’t going to sign the bill in California. So saying “California just passed a Hate Crime bill” is pretty misleading.
Second, what did the guy post in Facebook that got him the prison sentence? (I’m not going to watch an X video to find out.)

["This Keir Starmer, in my opinion, is evil. IF YOU SPEAK OUT, HE'LL PUT YOU IN PRISON. And we've seen that with LUCY CONNOLLY. He wants people in prison. And lets remind ourselves, this is a man who has spent his life defending wronguns. He doesn't defend people like us, he defends wronguns and he'll put anybody above the best interests of the British people."]

Our freedom still hangs by a very thin thread.

You give me two years for a Facebook post?

You better just kill me.

Because when I come out, there will be a reckoning.

[Savage Beast]

If the British People do not correct this outrage, nothing in the world can save them from suicide. It’s just a matter of time, and very little time.

[Savage Beast]

That bill is obviously unconstitutional. Surely the courts would throw it out promptly.

Does this put JimRob and family in danger?
Would this force FreeRepublic to move out of Fresno?

I’ll bet the Brit chimps wouldn’t dare throw a Muzzie in jail for a Facebook post. Cowards.

I thought the far-left nut sacks were for Free Speech. This isn’t it.
