RE: Britain is Heading to the Wall and Now Free Speech has been Labeled Hate Speech and is Officially a Crime !
Yes, in fact here in Venezuela President Maduro took out a similar law entitled the "Law against hatred"
According to the norm, anyone who promotes fascism, intolerance and national hatred will be forbidden to participate in the political game. The question is, who determines what is "hate" and under what criteria?
In my opinion, this law is arbitrary and has as its sole objective to censure any type of manifestation contrary to the official and limit the democratic stability of the country. With this legislation, it is intended to criminalize political dissent, imposing criminal, administrative and tax penalties, attempting to legitimize the abuse of power and curtailing citizen protest against the crisis, penalizing it in the same way as murder.
Yes @mjzo, its a "gagging" law which effectively takes away your right to voice resistance to the present imposed regime ! Its a disgrace , but then we should not be surprised to see that Maduro like all tyrants jumps on this clearly now " fashionable" and trendy sounding "Hate Crime" law ! I mean if you hate hate then its got be good right ??? pfffffffff((( We are all in so much trouble if we allow these ridiculus laws to become established,used and feared !
