I think you’re misunderstanding the user of the term “public” here. A mall is a public space in the sense that people can go, but it’s not a picnic space in the sense that it’s not operated by the government, it’s a private space. I’m using the term public space in the governmental sense, not in the publically accessible sense.
Also, talking about Europe as a whole is wrong since different countries can still have different rules on the subject.

See the US section, the use of the term “public space” in this conversation is acceptable as the term “public” is used in opposition to privately owned and not public in the sense that it’s open to the public like a mall is.

The government cannot usually limit one’s speech beyond what is reasonable in a public space, which is considered to be a public forum (that is, screaming epithets at passers-by can be stopped; proselytizing one’s religion probably cannot).

I’m talking about the users commenting on Helldivers patch notes. Just like with Starship Troopers, people on the right see Helldivers as inspiring when the message behind the media is anti fascism.

No it’s not a public space.
Public space would be a place like a national park or the sidewalk. These forums are owned and operated by a private company, they’re private spaces and can be moderated however the company sees fit. Same thing for Twitter or Facebook or Lemmy.
A senator has the right to tell them that they need to do a better job at moderating their platform if there’s reasons to believe they’re letting people threaten violence or incite criminal activity.

First amendment is for public spaces, a forum owned by a private comment isn’t a public space.

The problem with the “free” part is that hosting videos isn’t free so there needs to be monetization in some form.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t matter, the process to ask to be allowed in is the same.
Also, in this specific case, the rape accusations were in civil court so they’re not accusations that would prevent him from entering Canada. The charges that made him a felon are the ones related to the hush money.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 weeks ago:
For the fifth time, he just needs to fill up some paperwork and the Canadian border service agency decides to allow him in or not, the same right is given to any person with a criminal record visiting Canada.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 weeks ago:
The host country can recognize it and arrest them… or not. Technically Mongolia should have arrested Putin when he visited not too long ago, they didn’t because that would have been political suicide.
The international court is a completely different beast from a national court.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 weeks ago:
They’re allowed if they fill up the right paperwork and it’s approved by the Canadian border service agency, it’s not about immunity, it’s a process that exists for anyone with a criminal record, the difference is that Trump will be approved automatically just like Bush was 20 years ago.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 weeks ago:
And your comment is still wrong. Diplomatic immunity has nothing to do with the process any foreigner with a criminal record can go through to visit Canada. It’s paperwork and it’s the same thing Bush was doing to visit Canada while he was president 20 years ago.
ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum…
Again, diplomatic immunity is about things the person does while inside the host country if they’re acting as a representative of their country and it only protects certain people, not anyone sent by a country and in Canada it doesn’t even apply to presidents/premiers/kings of foreign nations.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 weeks ago:
Trump will be granted access the same way Bush was (he has a DUI), there’s paperwork necessary that wouldn’t be if he didn’t have a record and that anyone can fill up in the same situation, entry will be granted by default for Trump, that’s the main difference.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 weeks ago:
That’s not what diplomatic immunity is
Just like Bush for his DUI, Trump will need to have the paperwork necessary to be granted access to Canada as a person with a criminal record.

- Comment on Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky 2 weeks ago:
Well, in a system like I’m talking about, adding your server and storage space in the mix would make the whole thing more reliable and add to the storage capacity so more content can be hosted, just like paying for a second server to host a website allows to store more stuff and to start creating backups. You would still help build the community (the website), you just wouldn’t have an administrative role outside of the communities you would want to moderate.

Or you make it like a traditional website with an API used by people making frontends, but the backend (the database) is decentralized, just like regular websites but instead of having a bunch of servers owned by AWS it’s just a bunch of people providing storage space.

- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 2 weeks ago:
All those federated platform will only become popular if the backend is dumb and the frontend is smart, i.e. you create your account on a frontend but can use the same credentials to connect via another frontend and no matter which frontend you connect to, all content for the platform is accessible to you, there’s no admin having control over your experience, only people offering different UI experiences. Federation/defederation/deciding to host NSFW content, that’s all taken care of behind the scene just like on Reddit, for the user they’re just using Lemmy via frontend X or Y and they decide what communities and users they want to block.
