Which government? surely each country gets to choose for itself - the US 1st amendment is only a US law, it doesn't apply world-wide - the internet however is a world-wide entity and once a company like CF, or Google etc gets big enough it needs to obey the law everywhere



Every government. No government should be in the business of policing hate speech.


Surely that is for my country to decide for itself - we're a democracy - you don't get a say here any more than I get a say in what the US does


I don’t believe democratically voted tyranny is valid


I'm sorry you don't believe in democracy - I will avoid your country


What if a democracy voted to reinstate slavery? Is that valid?


I would continue to avoid your racist country
