For when all the liberals who whine about how conservatives are “allowed to lie!”. In particular the ones taking the side of the Brazilian government against musk.
Freedom cuts both ways. It needs to. You have to put up with speech you hate in order to have your own freedom to say what you want.
Brazil doesn’t have USA’s First Amendment. So no matter which stance people have on what it should be, it was legally valid.
And the whole fight was a political farce as Musk personally is known to comply with government censorship. Again, you can argue that the law is wrong and should be changed, but it’s legally valid.
I’m arguing “should” not “can”. It’s just another case of when libs will gladly dispose of their values when it suits their short-term goals.
Except you can’t threaten a president or lie about a corporation without being sued.
However, the right to incite racial violence is very much protected
Funny that huh?
Or anybody else if it’s a “true threat”
Or anybody else. And this is a civil tort not a criminal offense.
Yeah, so, like I said, not so free after all, depsite the claims to the contrary.
Well, unless its the right to incite racial hatred and violence. Then you’re free as a bird.
I’m sure its just a coincidence and doesn’t cross reference with anything else from Americas history.
Yeah - it protected a lot of civil rights activists in the '60s.
This is true, and the 2nd Amendment exists for when they start saying Nazi shit.
Lets just ignore all the laws against murder. But seriously if you’re at the point where you’re willing to kill people over what they say then you’re a danger to us all.
