Under Article 131 of the Dutch Criminal Code, which governs lemmy.world, inciting others to commit a crime is sedition. This comment by @[email protected] clearly incites others to shoplift from corporate chain stores, which is considered sedition. This isn’t allowed on lemmy.world because it’s illegal in the country where the servers are hosted.

Community locked: only moderators can create posts. You can still comment on posts.

Opruiing is the Dutch word for Sedition, and is described in Article 131 of the Dutch criminal code. It refers to any incitement towards criminal activity and is punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment.

This community exists to spread factual information about Article 131, and to identify violations of Article 131 on lemmy.world. Admins and mods are invited to use this community as a resource to ensure this website remains compliant with Dutch law. The reasoning for using a community instead of the report system is that opruiing is a complex issue and many mods may dismiss reports of opruiing without understanding the legal issues at play, which would prevent admins from seeing the reports.

It is also hoped that documenting the reach of Dutch law will lead to increased awareness on the part of Lemmy users of the difficulties of running a server under Dutch jurisdiction. opruiing is perfectly legal and may even be considered a moral good in other countries, such as the United States, which has a constitutional amendment supporting the right of citizens to rebel. Citizens of other countries may wish to move their opruiing to other Lemmy servers where such speech is legal.

Rule 1: No opruiing - This community is for documenting opruiing, not doing it ourselves. Do not incite criminal behaviour in posts or comments.

Rule 2: No brigading - Don’t go to linked posts and start an argument about opruiing. Keep the discussion of criminality in this community.

Rule 3: Dutch instances only - It’s no use pointing out opruiing on lemmy.ml or lemmy.nz or anywhere that isn’t hosted in the Netherlands. They have different laws and opruiing doesn’t apply, even if similar sedition laws exist.
