The free speech thread

RE: The free speech thread
(December 10, 2012 at 7:35 pm)Stue Denim Wrote: Given the recent threads on porn, left wing censorship, wikileaks, and nazis, I decided to make this thread. Where do you stand? Some areas where people often make exceptions (and some recent/current issues) are included in the spoiler lists, you don't have to go through the whole list btw (Tib there is one for you in the lies section):


Quote:Hatred and Violent groups


Total ban, hatespeech and incitement to violence cannot be tolerated.

Quote:Lies, damn lies, and the media


Depends on the context.

Slander and blackbiting should be punishable.

Misinforming the public?.?.?. I dont know....... There have to be the institutions which provide clarification eighter provided by state broadcast or independent journalists, aswell as there have to be the methods to call out bullshit. I guess misinforming the public should only be punishable if it actualy causes physical harm to individuals.

Quote:Porno


FSK restrictions considering that minors shouldn`t watch this stuff.
Other than that I dont see any limits.


Quote:Religion


There is no "blasphemy" in a pluralistic sociaty. What one can and can not publicly say about religion publicly is falls into other categories such as "hate speech"

Quote:Citizens united and foreigners


The respect for intelectual property is unbreachable to me.

Political speech should only be restricted by the rules on "hate speech"

Money does certainly not equal speech.

Quote:Wikileaks


Dont know, investegative journalism which can uncover criminal activity within powerfull positions is importent (Watergate).

But some stuff should defenatly not be published, especialy when peoples lives are put at risk or when the right to privacy is breached.

Quote:Misc:


?????
Well if one misinformes the public in a way which can lead to physical harm, that should be a criminal offence.

Quote:On a related topic, tax-funded speech:


tax funded speech should not be abused to make political advertisment except when given for that purpose to political parties during election seasons.

Quote:So, where do you stand? Should we have free speech, or should it have limits? Any of the things in the list causing you to say "woah stue, hold on there"? Where do you draw a line?

I think I mentioned everything above.
