Yes this is a honest concern, I tend to agree that there should be more freedom here, and things like piracy should be allowed. As well as total free speech, none of that paradox of tolerance bullshit everyone is trying to push whenever they want to censor someone.
However, I think though we can all agree that child abuse and CP is not allowed.
I feel like admins there are on a power trip, could be seen from their previous interactions.
Well maybe its unwanted by you, but it might be wanted by someone else.
I have no problem with anything having its space as long as its legal.
I never saw a NSFW post on lemmy actually, I have NSFW content hidden by default and it works great. Even though I am not interested in that content, I can respect that some people are.
This is also why I think banning communities because someone felt slightly offended is not the way to go. Lemmy already has a good way of moderating content per user, and you can ban communities and never see their content. I dont think instance admins should be removing anything other than illegal content.
Not the first time that person was looking around for reasons to be outraged and ban communities. I hope they decide to go isolated and defederate from all instances.
Illegal content should be removed in any case, but there is nothing illegal here.
First of all, the USA is not the center of the world, the problems you guys have with mass shooting is not caused by the “hate speech”.
And again banning hate speech is just masking the deeper institutional/educational problems you have, not solving them.
Interesting, so like the USA is doing?
Including corporations, that’s why we are all on lemmy, is it not? 😉
Not every country has the same law, the fact that the law exists doesn’t mean its a good law.
Its forbidden to mention nazi Germany? I guess we should just forget about it and let it happen again, because it hurts your argument.
The problem comes when you let the government decide what is “hate speech, racism, bigotry, fascism”. It gives government too much power to control the opposition by censorship.
If france wants to ban american propaganda, I am sure no american will shed a tear lol
I strongly disagree. If they didn’t care they wouldn’t be buying media companies abroad.
Everyone agree that’s the state has authority over foreign bad actor speach. We are discussing here state censoring their own citizen’s peach which is highly problematic esp in so called “democracies”
Not everyone agrees. Allowing a government to decide who is a bad actor and ban the media is bad, that’s how countries fall into dictatorships and create narrative for their citizens. Just look at nazi Germany.
USA is an openly imperialistic country also 😬 . Should we block all media from them?
You are blocking your own citizens to access the media. Meaning the government is actively curating the viewpoint to the citizens. Same like China is doing no?
Same could be said for USA. Because the person above mentioned China, Iran, North Korea blocking media for political reasons. I mentioned that EU countries are doing the same. We should not have double standards.
Many countries are spewing propaganda bullshit, including and in majority coming from USA. I don’t think media channels from USA should be blocked.
Switzerland is doing the right thing, they never blocked any news channel or limiting freedom of speech in that way.
Well most of the EU countries including France blocked all media channels from Russia
Thanks, it is what I wanted. Sadly it doesn’t work so well.
I have the most extensive list of Lemmy apps, you can include it in your welcome kit: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
Really sad. Another victim of mindless riots.
Hopefully the protesters will focus their anger on the real culprits instead of pillaging, stealing private property and putting innocent peoples life in danger.
Because it’s just a thought experiment that is taken dogmatically, while in reality is just used by fascists to censor the free speech
