France Will Block Web Sites That Promote Terrorism
An anonymous reader writes In the first use of government powers enacted after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, the French Interior Ministry on Monday ordered five websites blocked on the grounds that they promote or advocate terrorism. The action raises questions about how governments might counter groups such as the self-declared Islamic State on digital platforms.
THAT'S the relevant question here.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
Where did they pick up the desire to do that? Who is poisoning their young minds?
Maybe they feel alienated because their websites are censored, they are told how to dress, and so many Europeans think they should "go home". In America, Muslims are as free to speak as anyone else, they are welcome to wear their head scarfs to school, and they are well integrated into society. They are also a tenth as likely to join ISIS.
Except that basically all extant religions feed on ANYTHING that can be construed as persecution. By trying to censor, you only strengthen their resolve. Same shit with Neo-nazis and Mein Kampf. Nothing could do more damage to that movement than exposing that Das Fuhrer had the language skills of a middle school American sleeping through their first semester German class.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Oh, glad that those misguided idiots now can't have access to content promoting hatred in the name of religion.
Unless of course he goes to his local mosque. So let's shut down the mosques. Then they'll get together somewhere else.
Face it. There's no way you can keep idiots from being caught by sects. What you can do, and best would be such a way as this, is to make this harder to observe by your security forces.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
free speech doesn't mean you're allowed to insult and provoke at your leisure
That's exactly what free speech means. If you could only practice free speech that wasn't controversial, it would be meaningless.
of a bunch of politicians who were soap-boxing about freedom of the press and "je suis Charlie" engaging in this kind of censorship. All speech is free, but some speech is more free than others. I don't think there's anyone alive who is in a position to form an unbiased judgment of whether a terrorist site, a porn site or Charlie Hebdo is more offensive. Offense, like beauty, is in the mind of the beholder.
We are the 198 proof..
