    This is why I support free speech I might not like some of it but at least memes would be legal

    What’s particularly funny about this bill is that a good half of the European internet lives on Amazon’s AWS eu-west-1 cloud center, which is located in Ireland. If the Irish government is serious on passing and then enforcing this law (big if, I reckon) they might be shooting themselves in the foot as social media companies begin to move their data centers to other areas of Europe. Let us not forget that Ireland’s economy is almost entirely dependant on being a EU digital harbour for oversas companies.

    I haven’t seen the proposed legislation. I’d hope that they would just make laws that prohibit incitement of illegal acts and memes or posts that do this would just be included.

    Side note: Fuck Elon Musk. He’s not defending free speech, he’s defending incitement.

    Also, fuck McGregor. He’s a violent piece of shit.

    It really is interesting that white folks only ever bring up free speech when they want to be racist pieces of shit.

        Oh yes, calling out the hypocrisy of the white power structures is racism. Fuck off with your uno reverse card bullshit.

            I said when it is white folks mentioning free speech, that does not encompass “all white folks.” Keep up with the white victimhood narrative, though.

              Edit: you may understand in your own mind that you’re referring to a specific group of people, but the way that you phrased it is racist. Noam Chomsky is white. Is he being a racist piece of shit when he writes about free speech?
