Manwë Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 1 minute ago, billyblack said: Dont these same people tell you how fast to drive, that murder is wrong, and all the other laws that are out there? The speed limit in Scotland is different to that of England, as are drink driving limits. Scotland has variance when it comes to murder too. Killing someone could be manslaughter, even if the defendant plunged a knife into someone on purpose, it's not always murder. It requires a jury to decide, and thankfully such cases are rare enough that 12 people can be taken from their daily lives to act on a jury. Injury, speed etc are measurable things, whereas opinions are not and no act of parliament can define those. Re: Racism. Is anyone who is against mass immigration racist?

Saying your opinions out loud is this something else. I believe behaviour and words can be measured. If somebody called you a c#nt (and im not talking about your mate in jest) im pretty sure that can be defined as acceptable or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daavies; Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 People who are abusive or racist should rightfully be called out on social media profiles and banned. Don't like the idea of having to give my driving licence or passport info to a 3rd party social media company who will no doubt sell my information on to some advertising company. Because they will do 100%. Don't think this is the way to go so can't sign unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko1992 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Reported some monkey emjois on Saka's Instagram post last night (why the fvvuck there's a monkey emoji anyway) Instagram got back to me this morning stating that they haven't removed the account as it doesn't go against community guidelines. WTF? Stick a post up about the vaccine however and they are bang on it almost instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before we ban people from Social Media we need to define terms. Who's going to define terms? Edited July 13, 2021 by Rev Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it requires a form of judgement to determine whether it is or it isn’t. Tbh the law usually gets it right on these issues.. but a lot of people think things are racist that wouldn’t be under current laws. Everyone can agree on saying things about skin colour and targeting people as being wrong, but on the other areas you need free speech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
