  Good. Spread the fascists out on too many shitty platforms for them to organize well.

  Last I checked the UK has no guarantees of free speech.

    They do for the freedom of expression, as do most EU (and ex-EU) countries:

    Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.

    The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.

      We both know that this kind of nuanced take isn’t was Truss is aiming for, though. Otherwise she wouldn’t use the “free speech” canard.

  Just like every other supposed “free speech” platform, eh? How’d that all work out?

  Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a “speech I like” platform.

    Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a hate speech platform.

    • Akasazh@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Even more a ‘i want to say hateful stuff and not be held accountable for my own stupidity’ platform.

  Is she going for the record for shortest-lived social media platform too now?

    Less than on Scaramouche, I bet.
