RE: The Right to Offend – US Supreme Court Twice Champions First Amendment; EU Continues ‘War on Hate Speech’

in #politics7 years ago

Great Post BTW.

This is a tricky subject. The first amendment is one of the things that makes this nation great. One reason I defended this country. You can call me a leftist, but in all actuality, I am more of an independent. Somethings should be left unsaid, that goes for both sides. Like saying "leave our country" or any type of racial slurs isn't going to bring this country together, but divide us up even more, something we can't afford on doing in times as such. Free speech is important, but hate speech is unnecessary. You can say what you think, just remember what you are saying and what your cause is. Is it making America great again?

Now, with social media platforms, this can be another tricky area. Remind you, many companies have access to social media accounts, especially Steem, thus judging you to see if your fit for the institution. It goes both ways. Just remember, what are your intentions? Is it for the overall good? What purpose will it do? If it is to hurt someone, then don't say it, it will only cause overall friction.

Cheers
