Racist jailed for spewing online abuse.

[ESay]

You are confused regarding free speech.

What it is, Americans engage mouth, and their brain is five minutes behind, thus spewing shit. They call this free speech. So you have the likes of Musk calling that British diver a paedo because Musk is brain dead about free speech, pretty much like you. Where's his evidence? Liklies up his arse with his brain.

So with Britain, by all means communicate your free speech, but the difference being, engage brain, think, articulate yourself correctly, choose your wording wisely and if you don't have evidence, then expect to have your arse sued in court for slander/libel.

And that's the difference, but, I pretty much doubt that will sink in with you.

There should be a law against slander/libel that should give a chance to sue the offender. And it should be up to a court to decide the scale of the offender's liability.

But at the same time, criminal charge for verbal abusing of someone won't work out well. That law not only will prove itself ineffective but could also lead to bad consequences for civil liberties.

Is describing people as monkeys that important to you ?

If someone acts like an animal, comparisons are inevitable. Kinda like you being a jackass.

It might be useful in stamping out this behaviour. Racist trash should be pursued until they are extinct.

Good luck with that peg leg. Try it around here you might get something you didn't bargain for.

10 weeks isnt much but hopefully he will lose his job and see his life ruined as well. Society should have zero tolerance of this sort of behaviour.

And this is why our country is better than yours.......if you don't protect speech you don't like, then you will one day find your speech banned too...you idiot.....

You idiots are so short sighted.........locking people up for stupid speech....do you not understand where that is going to go?

You really are dumb........

We really don't have anything to learn from you.....2 World Wars......religious wars that went on and on....colonialism, socialism, communism, fascism.....the trans Atlantic slave trade......the holocaust, ethnic cleansing...

You people are just sick....

So, a communist newspaper known for supporting antisemitism is celebrating a man getting jailed for racism, but never gets around to telling anybody what the man actually said.

I would like to know what he actually said, and if it is actually racist, I would certainly denounce the man, but jailing people over words is the stuff of fascism.

No wonder our resident hater of free speech is so happy.

Not going to happen.

Indeed, rightwing racism, bigotry, and hate flourish when subject to government oppression; conservatives love to play the victim card, this plays right into their hands.

Well that is the entirety of your objection. If you cant say it to someones face you shouldnt be able to cower behind a keyboard and say it.
These people are offensive and hurtful and its a clear breach of the peace.
If this lad did it to his neighbour the police would arrest him for causing trouble. And rightly so. Racists are a cancer on the community.

And using the authority of the state to silence rightwing racism, bigotry, and hate only spreads that cancer.

In the United States, rightwing hate speech that doesn’t advocate for imminent lawlessness or violence is entitled to Constitutional protections, prohibiting government from subjecting purveyors of hate speech to punitive measures.

It’s the cornerstone of a truly free and democratic society.

So if you have freedom of speech why do you have libel laws ? I dont understand.

Although inalienable, our rights are not absolute, no right is ‘unlimited.’

For example, there are time, place, and manner restrictions on speech; government regulation of speech is generally Constitutional if it’s content neutral and narrowly tailored – obscenity isn’t entitled to First Amendment protections, likewise with child pornography.

Child pornohraphy is forbidden because engaging underage kids in sexual acts is beyond the law. It is not about the First amendment.

But what obscenity basically is and what should be considered obscene?

You and Trump come up short on "evidence" every time.

Really? Remember when people laughed at Trump for claiming that Obama was spying on his campaign? Or that the virus came from a lab?

You are a liar.

I will be not amazing when guys like you and yours will sent 'racists', 'Christians' and another 'Nazis' to the terrible tortures ever existed.
Who outside of the crazy western world lost his job just for saying the truth about 'guests' of the country.
Be prepared, schizophrenic European parliaments will accept following tortures for 'racists' soon.
We already arrived to the Middle Age, all laws and Constitutions were abolished, former free peoples forced to accept lockdowns, imprisonment, concentration camps, police beating etc just for refusing to believe the fairy-tale about the Killer Virus.

So speaks the voice of reason.
