I would say attacking the credibility of a person based on their gender should qualify as this hate speech thingie everyone is talking about.

I'm really on the fence because that opens up the whole can words be attacks thing

there's no such thing as hate speech in the US

and there never *should* be

used to say *will* but I dunno anymore

also @I AM ERROR we already have terms for that slander/libel

But that is mostly words that cause your image in general eye damage. If someone insults you with mansplaining just makes them look dumb and out of arguments.

words that have a financial or reputational harm

insulting someone is fair game

and always should be, just walk away and ignore

So, the media is allowed to report on TR arrest now I guess

and they're saying that 1) he pled guilty and 2) he expressed regrets

this is giving rise to people saying he should be there and he committed a crime and the FreeTommy movement should stop now

but you know fuck free speech right?

free speech doesn't exist outside America

only "Speech we agree with"

right

"They wouldn't be given a free trial" .. wait weren't these people in sentencing anyway?

funny fact

the dutch actually have a freedom of speech law,

But its 7th, whilst the freedom of religion is 1st

Hence its a higher priority to openly do your religion than it is to say what you want

but what if your religion is the "religion of free speech"?

it must be a recognised religion

so even a Jedi doesn't count

so now you have a government validating what someone believes is either recognized or not

Also, our freedom of speech law has conditions,

The state may take your right away if it damages reputation, or harms security

yeah we don't have that

never can be taken away

hence, Tommy would be arrested in Netherlands too, on the grounds his livestream would reflect poorly on Muslims

"shall not be infringed" even though we do have slander/libel laws

yeah so that's not what you call "free speech" 😄

exactly

like i said, its "Freedom of things we agree with"

our version doesn't even protect discrimination

If you're being a racist you're not protected

"Yes also all those shouting #freetommy He pleaded GUILTY to contempt of court and breach of suspended sentence. His lawyer said he expressed deep regret ."

Well no one is denying that i think

He had an earlier sentence but got released earlier, and then did this

But this is obviously just a silencing ploy

1 day conviction, no trial, and british media gets a gag order

well its not actually correct

he didn't plead guilty to CoC

but breaching the peace

which is a new charge

technically should have been a new trial/crime/whatever
