RE: UK.gov to treat online abuse as seriously as IRL hate crime

in #freespeech7 years ago (edited)

So if you say something which meets and conforms with public opinion of 2017 but in 2022 is no longer in fashion then what happens to you when everything you say is stored forever to be reviewed by an ever changing community defined standard?

Am I the only person who can see a serious problem with that? We literally do not know what we are saying or what is the right or wrong thing to say for all time. Also social media encourages people to post without thinking of the consequences by the design of the UI. So if you say your opinion and your opinion is subjectively determined to be abusive then you take that punishment?

Social media is like a spy agency's wet dream come true. All information is stored and searchable.
