The sharing of hate speech on social media is to become a criminal offence

Isle will continue to be a free speech forum

Personally I would prefer it follow the European model of free speech rather than the American model. Decent article here discussing some of the differences.

The El Paso Shooting Revived the Free Speech Debate. Europe Has Limits. (Published 2019)

France and Germany both prize freedom of expression, but history and experience have led them to impose greater limits on speech than in the United States.

Just a quick selection. And maybe you never said the word "nazi", you are far from the worst of them, but you are definitely painting the exact same pictures that the "anti-zionist" movement strives to continually paint, the exact same steretypes.

As to the usual accusations you then rattle off, I will not go into them again in depth, suffice to say, the whole truth is a lot more involved than what the slogans suggest, and to do justice one must get past those slogans and stereotyped images.

Squirrel away and reuse selectively edited quotes completely without the original context.
What page of the hasbara manual is that nasty little trick on Roc?

"Hasbara manual" etc.

Something for another thread - the argument made in bad faith.

And just to add the context is usually the same. A pack of wankers got together, goading each other on, trying to outdo each other in condemning with the most inflammatory rhetoric they can conceive the evil "Zionists". The usual context for hate speech. Take some ideology. Add a pound of self righteousness, put on the act of the hero on a mission to save the world, multiply into a mob, and everyone try to outdo each other in stupidity and saying the most extreme thing.

Misinformation is a close relative. Look at this one. First here are the real facts.

COVID-19 outbreak, not vaccine, to blame for deaths at nursing home in Auburn

A viral social media post and an article published on an obscure website falsely suggest that there may be a link between the timing of COVID-19 vaccinations and deaths at

auburnpub.com

------------

So what is the common agenda between the following posters and websites all running with the same misinformation? First Dan on GPO posts it:

A Nursing Home had Zero Coronavirus Deaths. Then, It Vaccinates Residents for Coronavirus and the Deaths Begin.

Things seem to be working backwards at The Commons on St. Anthony nursing home in Auburn, New York. Vaccinating people is supposed to reduce or end...

Then it's posted on PISH.

COVID-19 - Coronavirus UK Updates

Why, is it because you want to know its done? Shite bot malfunction not speaky English proper.😂😂😂

Zero Hedge run with it as well.

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

And the usual others. E.g.

What do they hope to achieve?

Should it be a criminal offence to promote misinformation if it can be shown you have an agenda in doing so?
