    radical free speech

    If that includes calling company money “free speech” (which the US does) I don’t agree. I’m also not ok with holocaust denial and Naziism.

        You could filter it on your end

        I’m going to go out on a limb here and suspect that the implied problems with holocaust denial and Nazism aren’t that they’re offensive to individuals but that the ideas are allowed to continue to exist, be practiced and eat away at society. “Filtering it out on one’s end” wouldn’t really address that.
        @tfm@europe.pub may correct me if I’m far off.

      Second to last thing is punishable by fine in most of Europe, last one is… on the rise…

      Company free speech is allowed, but there’s laws to keep them from being total asshats

        “Things” shouldn’t have free speech - only people. It’s just such a corrupt, dumb thing.

            There was a court case called the ‘Citizens United v FEC’ that ended up ruling in favor of corporations; It said corporations and organizations and unions can ‘donate’ as much money as they want to political candidates i.e. legalized bribery.
