Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI’m expressing how much their laws are bullshit. they are draconically applied on people protesting a genocide. while the question of “should the law be applied to corporations” is left open as a debatable topic.
Laws are made to protect the ingroup and bind the outgroup.
and even though it was an example of their hypocrisy and not the point of the argument I’ll say it regardless

Uh. So… Prosecuting bad. Not prosecuting those who do not cooperate with the prosecutors also bad because hypocrisy.

i don’t think you get the point
General_Effort@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I think you are just not making any sense.

Do you think maybe some laws can be bad and others good and that encouraging enforcement of a good law doesn’t mean encouraging enforcement of the bad ones?
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
my point is: Why when it comes to the public, laws are enforced to the letter, but for corporations, the question of “should the law apply” is a public debate instead of a “Duh. of course”?

Yeah. I understand what you mean. That is simply not true. Ok, teachable moment.
In Germany, that slogan is considered a Hamas slogan. Hamas has been classified as an extremist organization. That means that using its slogans and symbols is illegal under the same laws that make Nazi slogans and symbols illegal. That’s the hate speech and illegal content that online platforms are supposed to remove.
Failing to crack down on hate speech is one of the biggest complaints against X. If you demand that authorities to enforce EU platform laws harder, then what happens is that this slogan is suppressed harder. You understand?
