They'll immediately ban "from the river to the sea" and prosecute everyone who says/displays it. but a multinational corporation is just allowed to break the law and maybe the politicians will at some point allowed them to face the law.

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world -5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Uh. You do understand that this law breaking includes not cracking down hard enough on illegal content? Like that Hamas slogan?

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I'm expressing how much their laws are bullshit. they are draconically applied on people protesting a genocide. while the question of "should the law be applied to corporations" is left open as a debatable topic.

Laws are made to protect the ingroup and bind the outgroup.

and even though it was an example of their hypocrisy and not the point of the argument I'll say it regardless

From the river to the sea Palestine will be free

From the sea to the river Palestine will live forever

Uh. So... Prosecuting bad. Not prosecuting those who do not cooperate with the prosecutors also bad because hypocrisy.

i don't think you get the point

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

I think you are just not making any sense.

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 0 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Do you think maybe some laws can be bad and others good and that encouraging enforcement of a good law doesn't mean encouraging enforcement of the bad ones?

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

my point is: Why when it comes to the public, laws are enforced to the letter, but for corporations, the question of "should the law apply" is a public debate instead of a "Duh. of course"?

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. I understand what you mean. That is simply not true. Ok, teachable moment.

In Germany, that slogan is considered a Hamas slogan. Hamas has been classified as an extremist organization. That means that using its slogans and symbols is illegal under the same laws that make Nazi slogans and symbols illegal. That's the hate speech and illegal content that online platforms are supposed to remove.

Failing to crack down on hate speech is one of the biggest complaints against X. If you demand that authorities to enforce EU platform laws harder, then what happens is that this slogan is suppressed harder. You understand?

That slogan is not antisemitic, Germany just wants to crack down on protest on a genocide they are collaborating with, that's the real crime.

Laws need to apply to everyone, otherwise they aren't laws. I'm just complaining how the state uses their laws, rugged police state for the poor, clemency for the rich.

again, as a Jewish person who used to live in Israel:

from the river to the sea.
