In recent days in Germany, with the discussion coming up over a Twitter case developing and a national anti-hate-speech agenda emerging....people are going to eventually start to ask questions.
If you dislike what someone is talking about....can you automatically hang 'hate-speech' on it? No....just because you dislike the subject...means absolutely nothing.
Something-something-something-Nazi....getting uttered, and not really meaning anything? Well....that's one problem by itself. You need to be able to discuss the 1920s/1930s with symbiology and propaganda used....if you want to have a clear memory of the past.
If you erase this period entirely....its likely you will repeat it.
The subject? The guy had text which asked the question....is fat a gender?
Twitter went by the book...reviewed it, and said 'no, it's not hate-speech'.
I probably notice a dozen of these 'reports' each week, and typically....it infuriates a fair number of people (not living in Germany) who get reported. Instead of lessening tensions....I'd say all this reporting has simply hyped up tensions.
Hate-speech anti-chatter turning into hate-speech itself? I'm starting to wonder about this subject.
