That is not saying that Germany is abusing the law, just that they have an ineffective implementation that shitty countries could use as an excuse to enact their own abusive practices.
God I’m so tired the wannabe tyrants on lemmy. Y’all do realize you’d wouldn’t be in the party, right? At best you’d be ignored and working in some sweatshop, and worst you’d be against the wall.
And don’t think I didn’t notice the casual white washing of Nazis, you anti-Semite.
The United States. Speech that is used to incite violence, commit fraud, or is perceived to be a true threat are not protected under the first amendment.
I don’t know about that. I think the more appropriate stance is that it’s almost impossible to have people appropriately prosecuted when they do violate the law. Federal courts are afraid to be the court that starts the chain reaction of more appropriately defining how violation of the law and prosecution should work.
I said ripe for abuse, not that they will be abused. In any case, I haven’t heard of country with hate speech laws that hasn’t been abused in some form. Even in America, we don’t have those laws, but that hasn’t stopped the government from trying.
We don’t have those laws in the form of legislation necessarily in the US but we do have bars on what is covered by the first amendment according to case law.
Some countries already have hate speech laws that are limited to inciting violence and they aren’t being abused.
That is an inciting violence law.
Name one.

Here’s the thing, I agree that hate speech is bad. But then I look at countries like China and think “I like having freedom of speech”.
How about when a republican gets in office, and he gets to define hate speech?

And it is almost impossible to break that law.

By your logic we should get rid of traffic laws because we know they are abused.
