Right-Wing Trolls Are Freaking Out After Learning They Can Get Sued for Calling People ‘Groomers’ on the Internet

New court decision reinforces that there is no public interest in speech that exposes vulnerable groups to hate

Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

Oh no. Not that. Please no.

<Tee hee!>

    Yep, right on the heels of a bill to try and censor the internet again.

    While I agree with the outcome of the case, we must remain vigilant of our privacy.

      Do you even have the first clue what you’re talking about or are you just spouting right wing talking points? Censoring the internet (banning hate speech as it is known outside of the right wing echo bunker) has nothing to do with privacy. Calm down, give yourself a bit of time to adjust. You will find that reality is FAR less scary than the right wing echo bunker would have you believe.

        Trust me, I’m not right wing.

        PP is a fucking shill and would be a disaster.

        But privacy matters, and the only way to “censor hate speech” online in the way they describe would be an unimaginable loss to privacy.

        And you won’t see that until it happens.

        Everyone was ecstatic that Apple created a “child porn filter” on your phone, and in theory it’s great, but then all of a sudden governments wanted to use the tool to censor images that they didn’t like.

        ……and Apple quietly dropped the feature.

        It’s rage bait to get you to support something that is bad for you.

              No one is under any obligation to engage with you on your nonsense. Sorry.

              Have a nice day.
