Surely that (criticism/denial of the holocaust) would be down to an examination of the context and audience in which the comments are made? I don't see how entire subjects can just be "off limits" completely without affecting freedom of expression. Sure, if it's being used in an obviously hateful and attacking way, then that's not acceptable.

I feel that the meaning behind things is way more important than the words or medium used.

I mean, I don't know how far this "ban" goes, to what extent you are allowed some privacy to discuss things. Or whether they will bust into your home to raid you after planting a microphone. It's all new to me and I'm scared.
Feel free to send me a private message.
