Comment on Labour MPs begin quitting X over ‘hate and disinformation’
timewarp@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoArresting people for things they say even when they aren’t threats is anti-free speech and the UK and many European countries do not allow free speech. You can be arrested for even saying Israelis genociding Palestinians are Nazis.

No you cannot. Assuming you’re not from the UK.
Stirring up racial hatred and geeing people up to burn down hotels holding refugees is not free speech.

I specifically said things that aren’t threats. Just because you don’t like what they say doesn’t mean that it isn’t free speech.

You sound like you get your knowledge of European and British laws from tabloid journalism

Since when did the NYT become tabloid journalism?
nytimes.com/…/germany-pro-palestinian-protests.ht…
Or Wikipedia?
en.wikipedia.org/…/Censorship_in_the_United_Kingd…
Which says, “there is no general right to free speech in the UK.”
