Quote: "Under the pretext of fighting 'hateful' content on the Internet, it [the Avia law] is setting up a system of censorship that is as effective as it is dangerous... 'hate' is the pretext systematically used by
those who want to silence dissenting opinions.
"This text [law] is dangerous because, according to lawyer François Sureau,
'it introduces criminal punishment... of the conscience'.
It is dangerous...because it delegates the regulation of public debate... on the internet to American multinationals... A democracy worthy of its name should accept freedom of expression".
Jean Yves Camus. from Charlie Hebdo, called the law "a placebo for fighting hate" and pointed out that the "hyper-focus on online hate" masks the real danger:
"It is not online hatred that killed Ilan Halimi, Sarah Halimi, Mireille Knoll, the victims of the Bataclan, Hyper Cacher and Charlie; it is an ideology called anti-Semitism and/or Islamism...
Who determines what hatred is and its [distinction from] criticism?
A Pandora's box has just been opened...
There is a risk of a slow but inexorable march towards a digital language hyper-normativized by political correctness, as defined by active minorities".
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16057/france-free-speechThese type of laws will allow the 'descent' of a free society, into the normalisation of it becoming a tyrannous state.
Where the political state can deem any publicly expressed political criticism, A HATE CRIME, against any [convenient] 'victim'.
This [the above political circumstance] is the political status quo within every ISLAMIC jurisdiction.
This is the political status quo within every Marxist guided jurisdiction.
Where, within those political jurisdictions, the right and the safety of the individual citizen, is always 'expendable' and secondary,
to the right and the safety [and the desires] of the majority.
How soon we discard, and forget, the sacrifices, and the blood spilled, of our forefathers,
in their opposition to dangerous political tyranny.
And their hope, to secure political freedoms for themselves and for their children.
Political Socialism is founded upon political oppression,
and theft [of private property], and murder.
And Socialism is always empowered by a tyrannical political state, which is always 'guided' by
a corrupt and ruthless political elite.
e.g.
Today, China,
the 'modern' Russian state,
North Korea,
Venezuela,
all ISLAMIC jurisdictions [corrupt and ruthless murderers - killings occurring either openly and 'lawfully', or behind a 'veil' of political concealment and political facilitation].
".....A new order will rise.
We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the Orc.
We have only to remove those who oppose us."
