Free speech cannot mean a free pass for hatred.
Uh, yes it can. I mean, your hatred is ok, right?
Once again th Left claims censorship is free speech.
And isn’t ‘hate’ such a wonderfully vague term with which to justify censorship?
I hate liars, thieves, cheaters, murderers, perverts, and those endorse them. I will not hesitate to say so, either, so FU Kahn.
Note to the ignorant: Hate is not always bad, and love is not always good.
These totalitarian authoritarians enjoyed their protection from and outright oppression of opposing views on social media for years upon years.
It will be quite interesting to see exactly what form the response will be to the threat of losing that special treatment.
Bear in mind, we have totalitarian authoritarians in positions of power throughout all of the world.
How about those individuals who want to cut my head off because they don’t like the way I worship? Those who want to beat me to a pulp because of my hair style, or that I like chitterlings? I haven’t had any Mexicans hate me because I like a bowl of chili every now and then. Italians don’t hate me because I eat pizza and spaghetti. There must be some other agenda.
Islam is fascism.
to the mayor of London, ENGLAND,
you, like all people on the face of this Earth of ours, has the right to an informed opinion.
However, you, in England, do not own, rent, or signify, any and all opinions, informed or not, vociferated by me or my fellow !American citizens, past, present or future.
Why, you might ask?
We Americans have, through our Constitution, embedded in our very fabric, the right, by law, to say, write, scribble, and chicken scratch, whatever our hearts and minds motivate us to do, without any punishment or retribution from any government authority, direct or indirect!
So, please, with my permission, insert your fanciful notion, into either of your nasal passages!
What is Khan’s position on tweets/posts calling for death to Israel or Jews? Gee...I wunder.
Sure it can not to mention who determines what is ‘hatred’? Certainly not you. Of course hatred against whites is fricken peachy to you.
But stabbings are O.K.
Free speech MUST include what some wish to call “hate speech”. If it does not, the definition of the latter will expand to include anything those in power disagree with.
Define hatred?
The answer to "hate speech" is not censorship. Historically speaking, the answer has always been more free speech that logically and systematically dismantles it and persuades people in their hearts and minds that it's wrong.
The minute speech of any kind is squelched, speech of every kind is.
Either we win in the marketplace of ideas where free and fair exchange is permitted, or all ideas die. That's tyranny. That's been Twatter.
It’s great as long as you get to define hatred.
The UK doesn’t have a constitution or free speech, the subjects serve the will of the crown.
Free speech cannot mean a free pass for hatred.

Actually that is exactly what FREE SPEECH means.
If you are not allowed to say something that may offend someone then free speech does not exist.
It is ironic that the free speech movement that began in the 1960 on college campuses has turned into censorship once the hippies of the 60 gained power.
Free Speech is Free Speech....
IF someone hates something, they are allowed to speak their feelings and opinions, I know being a Muslim and all you don’t believe that, because Islam is about subjugation, not liberty.
The democrats do it, so why not?
