If you are banned permanently, are you still able to edit or at least delete your existing comments or is it too late for that?

Went away alongside with Tumblr users. Muppet who made this decision is probably well off though.

And then again, and notice the parentheses this time. Then ask somebody to explain it to you.

For fuck sake. Let me tell you one thing: you are an idiot - not a name calling, just a realistic assessment of your intellectual capabilities.

Tell me where scientists are prosecuted for having got a theory wrong

Tell me where meteorologists routinely are prosecuted

Are you more than a little bit slow?

Do you see the difference between “lies NOT protected” and “lies criminalised”? And BTW I just gave you an example of a criminalised lie.

Are you a little bit slow?

Freedom of speech does not cover lies. It doesn’t mean lies are illegal - it only means they are NOT protected under the freedom of speech - which means they can be banned or made illegal if individual states decides to do so.

Furthermore there is plethora of situations in which lies are illegal in multiple countries. As a matter of example, in the UK lying when you are selling something is called “fraudulent misrepresentation” and it is a criminal offence.

Try to say something about Israeli genocide on Reddit and you will quickly find out it is also admins who are the problem.

It isn’t - unless your comment applies just to the USA, otherwise read the UN definition of freedom of speech.

Are you a another USian by any chance? I noticed people from USA have completly skewed definition of freedom of speech which may partially explain why Trump is able to get away with his constant lies.

What personal attacks sweetie?

Sorry, you crossed the line when you made a ad hominem attack.

What ad hominem, sweetie? Asking if you are a USian? I explained why. Asking if you are a little bit slow? Your lack of understanding of two simple words certainly points that way.

“the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas”

That also applies to incorrect information ideas… or… lies.

Are you a little bit slow?

Which part of “information” or “ideas” cover lies?

So, are you a USian as misunderstanding of free speach is common there?

Again it is not.

Neither of those links suggested that it was illegal to lie

Which part of “the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas” caused you trouble?

So, are you a USian?

Yes, but in this case we are not talking about a lie, we are talking about an opinion which you yourself consider a lie.

You are going around in circles. I already told you it is fair enough - if he genuinely believed Muskler was not performing a nazi salute, it just makes him deluded. I however consider it unlikely, and if it indeed is not the case, that means he was lying.

Furthermore, Muskler himself never denied him making a nazi salute, making people denying it even more likely to lie rather than simply being mistaken.

Again, it is.

Again, it isn’t. Read the fucking definition and educate yourself.

‘Freedom of speech is the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, by any means.’

And, no, I’m not Asian,

Who was talking about Asians? I asked if you are a USian. Someone from USA. People from USA often misunderstand what freedom of speech is.

So where was this one coming from now?

freedom of speech is for everyone, not only the people you like

Where is this one coming from now?

Freedom of speech is also the freedom to lie

Again, it is not. Freedom of speech is a freedom to receive information and exchange ideas. Not a freedom to lie.

Are you a USian by any chance? They quite often misunderstand what freedom of speech is.

Honestly, that’s very insulting and I don’t appreciate the insinuation.

All I would say is that you picked up a very odd example to defend the “freedom of speech”.

I’m just here to defend freedom of speech.

Ensure you understand it first:

‘Freedom of speech is the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, by any means.’

Thus my point that freedom of speech is not a freedom to lie or a freedom to spread hate or encourage violence (this is a general point, I am not referring to your views in particular).

Well if this person truly believes it wasn’t a Nazi salute, then he’s not lying

Agreed, that makes him deluded instead. Not many people however are stupid enough to be able to analyse Musk salute and belive it wasn’t a nazi one.

Freedom of speech is not a freedom to lie.
