Hurting people with words. Ok, we're through the looking glass now. Criminalizing words on the internet. You people realize there's entire swathes of the internet devoted to racial supremacist websites and religious extremists, right? Are those views "acceptable" to you? Wouldn't you consider them inciting to violence much more than some adolescent **** thinking he's edgy by typing bad words?
So what, ban them all? I think governments have found the perfect issue to finally bring the internets to heel. **** the absolute freedom of the internet, the good and the bad it produces. It must be controlled because trolls hurt other people's feefees. Wow. ******** authoritarian ****s. Give governments the right to police the internet for "offensive language", I'm sure nothing could go wrong.
There is a difference from expressing your views and threatening someone. Places like Stormfront and other websites dedicated to extremists are fine. Right to free speech and all. I am vehemently against their views, but I do not feel it's right to censor it. Now, if they were to all gang up and start threatening a black person or a woman or someone who opposes their views directly? That's unacceptable. It shouldn't be censored but it's a breach of the peace and should be considered such by law.
As for that last paragraph, I think you are going into ridiculously sensationalist and stupid arguments. Take a minute, relax and think. Stop blowing everything up. Nobody is talking about giving the government control of the internet. Nobody. Nobody is even calling for anything to be censored.
