Now this is terrifying- and sheer terrorism

I don't see any connection Fleur to your extremely vague reference to "some man in a wig" .

Are you going to do this with all subjects on here. Theres a thread about roast dinners at the moment, do they need to get some perspective as well. You do know it's possible to think about a range of issues.

Have you been authorised to dictate what topics we may or may not post about, Fleurpepper?

Hear Fleurpepper! This is true.

Sue Donim, we are all "authorised" as free speakers to speak whatever we deem to be true and good, as long as it's lawful.

Liberal moderators object only if a post is unlawful.

I agree Caleo but what's the connection?

Do you mean on here caleo?
It doesnt have to be unlawful it just has to break the guidelines. So someone could be deleted for troll hunting etc which in itself isnt unlawful.

This is why hate speech must be quashed on all platforms

It encourages and enables this kind of violence towards innocent people

Pretty disgusting responses to this thread so far

Hope it improves

Any form of terrorism be it extreme far left or extreme far right is of course utterly abhorrent. But the connection with people wearing wigs and opening doors has me baffled. Or Fleurpepper are you saying transgenderism is now under the rubric of terrorism.

Which are the pretty disgusting responses?

The attempt to control speech is much more dangerous than the terrible things some people may say. It is without fail minorities who suffer when there are further attempts to control speech. People seem to be of the naive belief that the control of speech will always be in the hands of the 'good guys'.

The issue is nothing whatsoever to do with ‘whipping up hatred’ as you put it, but in the case of the Home Secretary, trying against all the odds to secure our borders and to break the criminal people smuggling gangs.

I’m pretty sure this endeavour has the support of the majority of the population.

By the way, Nigel Farage isn’t a far Right weirdo. Again, he speaks for a lot of people here, just not the prolific posters on GN though!

All terrorism is abhorrent wherever and whoever the organisation or lone wolf are.

Some women feel terrified to find a man in a wig in their women only spaces.

Jennifer Eccles- do you have evidence that Nigel Farage speaks for " a lot of people "? Perhaps you know people for whom he speaks, but that is anecdotal, which I could counter with he speaks for no one I know.
When he stood for Parliament, he was unsuccessful.

People who share stories that they clearly haven't fact checked because it furthers their own agenda are the literally whipping up hatred and are definitely responsible for enabling abuse and violence

Minority groups are constantly being talked about yet other stories ignored.

As one example

1% of sexual violence in the UK results in charges and conviction but we need 17 threads about the dangers of "trans women" instead

Yes. Perspective

Some are rather skewed

Who gets to decide what is whipping up hatred VS. You? Elon Musk perhaps. Good luck with that.

Exactly Fleurpepper. Couldn't agree more.

Victims.

No they dont. Sorry but victims of anything will have little control over what can and can be said on Twitter for example. They can campaign and protest but the decisions wont be made by them.

Can and cant be said that should say.

Of course it is the victims, they are the ones seeking justice under the law

I am talking about control of speech. On gransnet that on the whole lies with the owners of the website and obviously in certain cases with the law. Same with Twitter. It wont always be the good guys who decide on control of speech.

No one is controlling speech just having an opinion on it
