Oh, you’re in favor of the biased fact-checking ? Like, you think that, e.g., in the case of the Ukraine-Russia war, we wouldn’t get banned for citing obvious facts that contradict the western propaganda ?
How could you ever think that censorship will favor the “extremes”(, left or right) ? Lemmygrad is quite often opposed to the general consensus, don’t be so naive 🙄
(During covid, some real informations, e.g
about the origins of the virus or alternative treatments, were censored, and we’ve seen the same biases in politics, in case you forgot)
It’s already forbidden to support “terrorists”, or to do “genocide” apologia, among other things that are used to censor our voice and avoid having a contradictory debate.
meta’s new rules specifically allowed e.g. calling homosexuality a mental illness, which is a crime in brazil. this is the kind of thing the supreme court questioned meta about
Until Bolsonaro or someone similar is elected and starts enforcing a fact checking you disagree with.
Defending/Relativizing the Holodomor(, which didn’t happened only in Ukraine back then,) is forbidden in some countries, and it’s not hard to imagine hate speech laws forbidding the debunking of the “uyghur genocide”, as some were censored back then.
The democrats made a mistake in using these laws against Donald Trump, but we(sterners) will probably end up controlling the information on the Internet as we did in the legacy/mainstream medias.
as if the dominant class didn’t have the power to legally persecute the left without hatespeech laws
look, i really don’t want to be having this conversation right now, but, with all due respect, your whole stance here smells like typical us-american freezepeach-ism. not that brazil’s supreme court is now suddenly the workers’ court (it isn’t), but it makes no sense to be agaisnt the criminalization of hatespeech when it’s specifically against racist and homophobic hatespeech which doesn’t affect us in the slightest. if bolsonaro wants to criminalize communism and he manages to get the votes to do so, he will, regardless of current hatespeech legistlation
