Double standards on freedom of speech

[FatAndFaithless]

What effect do they think denying the holocaust could cause besides making the one who denies it look like a twat?

Not arguing or debating - But - You'd be surprised with far right groups that are currently gaining more votes that genuinely believe the holocaust was a scam - And when they post that opinion, they get likes from some people. In fact, I have relatives who think the holocaust was not that bad.. You should really look at stormfront forum and see how many people from so many countries are there.

Yes, there are assholes and ignorant people and sensationalists and indoctrinated robots. That doesn't change the fact that simple saying something isn't the problem.

Do you really think the people that "like" that holocaust opinion, like it because someone said it? No, that kind of distorted and unhealthy view of history is far more entrenched and subtle than just stating an opinion.

And "protecting hurtful insults" is an absolutely vacuous and useless basis for doing anything. Literally anything and everything can be interpreted as horrifically offensive or insulting or hurtful.
