Morepork Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Alarming, but define "Wrongthink" because if that's QANON, supporting populist tw@ts like Trump, Flat Earthers, Anti Vaxers etc. etc. I want them banned from mainstream activities. She needs a good human rights lawyer surely. Edited February 4 by Morepork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykes Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I've just watched the entire video, and wow, this is actually really ominous and scary stuff. They are literally spying on and compiling dossiers of information on everyday members of the public, right down to trying to determine where they live, for simply expressing opinions that don't fit their agenda. This is a massive breach of privacy by a private company. What is their ultimate goal with this, to ban everybody that doesn't agree with their narrative? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 This comes as no surprise to me. The Plod have been been trying to criminalise people for who post social media comments that don't tow the line ,for a while now .You wouldn't believe the lengths the plod are prepared to go to believe me , I know what they are prepared to do . So I'm not shocked that the Premier league has adopted the exact same tactics ,from spying on someones social media , to even watching them in real life. You don't even have to be breaking the law - just having a view that dosnt fit with the narrative that is pushed by the powers that be makes you a target . And they WILL come after you , to try and silence your legally held views , simply because they don't like your views . And , this Newcastle fan said nothing wrong, nothing all all. Her only 'crime' is to hold views and opinions that don't tow the party line. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on mate , this is purely an attempt, through harassment to silence her . It's pathetic . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Club owned by Saudis bans someone for trans views? The whole escapade is bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl In Black Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Shocking that someone was able to identify all the things about her that she had put in the public domain herself An example of digital footprint and how it can be used against you. All could have been solved by simply making ones account more private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Surely she is entitled to that view. What business is it of theirs? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier league today , EFL tomorrow . If its allowed to happen, then everyone who holds different views is a target . Personally, I don't give a shiete if the powers that be don't like my views and opinions (and I know for a fact SYP don't like my views). This issue is we are now having people who don't share the official narrative, harassed, hounded and banned for holding views that are totally legal ,but don't tow the party line . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinexile Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Strange they can't apply this kind of investigatory rigour when deciding who is fit and proper to own a football club, isn't it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out the irony of this being posted in the Sheffield Wednesday section of the forum. The fact that Newcastle's money comes from Saudi Arabia, where the gender expression of trans people is criminalised, makes this story truly bizarre, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'll take time to watch the video at some point because there is an alarming erosion of civil liberties going on, but I want time to watch the whole thing and see if it's actually about that, or if it's just "I'm not allowed to be racist anymore". Also, I did get a laugh from reading that apparently the UK police are part of the "woke agenda". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxing_day Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 While I’m not a fan of Young, it’s something everyone needs to watch. If what is being presented is true then that should be a concern for everyone. An incredible encroachment into civil liberty, particularly as the content she allegedly posted isn’t controversial. To caveat it obviously needs the other side of the story from the club/premier league, but concerning to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can and are able to express gender critical povs. I’d refer you to the recent legal cases involving Maya Forstater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
