As someone from the UK, it always makes me laugh when people try and claim free speech as if we have the constitution here because they've watched too many yank grifters online.
Yeah, it sucks but the literal peasant class in your monarchy doesn't have actual rights.
We do have rights, they're enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights. We just don't have an unfettered right to free speech that makes us have to accept Nazis like the US does.
Just the ones that allow Germans to lock up climate protestors for future crimes, or Brits for insulting their monarch~
Dude, governors are banning books en masse over here in the good ol' land of the free. Laws were never the problem. People always were.
No, they aren't. They can not stop people from making or purchasing those books.
They're removing them from state funded programs but that's a much different thing.
Ohh, yes they are. Go look it up and actually research it honestly instead of looking for holes to win an argument. It's happening here, especially in certain southern states, and it's bad. Some counties even shut down whole libraries specifically to get around anti-censorship protections we have here.
Do you actually not understand that libraries are mostly state institutions or what?
Do you not understand that it's mass censorship regardless and therefore you're wrong?
Who am I kidding? Of course you don't. You don't want to grow up and accept facts, you just want to be right. Well, go sod off and be right then, see if political tyrants will care either way.
That self righteous irony is absolutely amazing, but I've never seen you have a good take so it's not surprising.
Feel free to point to the part of the Constitution that guarantees all government libraries carry every book ever printed, or even the part that says they can't ban whatever they want from them.
Hell, point to your right to government funded library access at all.
If you weren't aware that your indignant screeching is the relative of the morons who think private companies can't moderate their platforms because of the 1st, consider this my last attempt to make you see the tiniest bit of sense in the world.
