#FreeSpeech does not mean #ConsequenceFreeSpeech!

#Accountability and #Consequences are good, if not what keeps this world from falling into #chaos worse than #warlordism!

https://xkcd.com/1357/

@SteveBologna I guess the #USA needs to learn that #FreeSpeech does not mean #ConsequenceFreeSpeech and actually put some #accountability for threats, not just against the POTUS into action!

@maddiefuzz That's not the case - they ain't a Tier-1 and the Internet never was a dumb pipe.

If you believe that then you ignore the amount of filtering that is necessary for any ISP or IX not to get overwhelmed by #DDoS traffic and malicious actors.

#FreeSpeech does not mean #ConsequenceFreeSpeech...

There is no "Right to Peer" or "Right to Upstream" for very good reasons.

Also @eff choosing to defend #KiwiFarms instead of anything worth defending sends a clear message to everyone else!

@hosford42 @thekitmalone because the last time Germany allowed #ConsequenceFreeSpeech to exist we ended up with a Chaplin-stached Austrian who genocided #LGBTQIA*, SocDems, Commies, Disabled and Jewish people whilst engulfing Europe in a horrible war.

@rysiek Also because the :fediverse: embraces #FreeSpeech, but not #ConsequenceFreeSpeech...

OFC one can act like an asshole, but assholes get yeeted out of it as fast as any good club will...

Simple as that:
https://xkcd.com/1357/

@Lacci @mcc that's because the fash know to weaponize the press and broker on the #unaccountability that the #ConsequenceFreeSpeech culture in the #USA fosters...

@GreenFire After all, "#FreeSpeech" does not mean #ConsequenceFreeSpeech...

Nobody prevents anyone from comitting felonies, they'd just have to accept #ForeseeableConseqiences to kick in sooner or later...

And I think that needs to be done in the #USA as well...

But hey, with a #Insurrevtionist & #HighTreasonist still neither charged nor even arrested, the U.S. is already beyond comedy and tragedy...

@mastodonmigration actually it's more #spamming of #DM's and yes I myself got one...

And whilst kolektiva.social did temporarily defederate mastodon.social until they fix the #Spamming, I think this is reasonable as approach...

#FreeSpeech doesn't mean #ConsequenceFreeSpeech - same goes for #tech.
If one's #spamming or hacking too much they get #NameThem [ https://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/ ] & #BlockThemReportThem [ https://www.spamhaus.org/drop/ ] free of charge...

@joebiden In Germany, that would get him jailed, but then again, the #USA loves #ConsequenceFreeSpeech:

@glassbottommeg @jdyer mostly because unlike the #USA Germany doesn't believe in #ConsequenceFreeSpeech but #Accountability...

Which is why you don't get #FoxNews here:
They'd get their license revoked for inciting #StochasticTerrorism faster than #RT could close down their Studio in #Berlin...

@VeryBadLlama guess what?
#Mainsteam #MassMedia love #StochasticTerrorism as doing #PropagandaOfTheDeed will get more copycats and also boost ratings.

This is the unique problem with #ConsequenceFreeSpeech in the #USA!

Other places don't have this issue not due to lack of guns or regulations but because media can't just #hategroom people imat #primetime.

@KagroX as long as #Mainstream #MassMedia profit from #StochasticTerrorism and get #ConsequenceFreeSpeech aka. being allowed to do #PropagandaOfTheDeed, shit won't change.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3VQULyT390

@syt and that's the big problem:

They basically want #ConsequenceFreeSpeech to only exist for the rich.

@aiefel @chadloder EXACTLY!

People who want to go on #BlueSky want #Neonazis to have #ConsequenceFreeSpeech and all the #LGBTQIA content forced under #NSFW like #nudity and explicitly sexual media...

@Loosf see - that's what I hate about these guys:

They don't want "#FreeSpeech" but "#ConsequenceFreeSpeech"...

And that's just wrong.

@BetaCuck4Lyfe +9001%

It's only consequent self- and mutual defense to react this way.

#FreeSpeech doesn't mean #ConsequenceFreeSpeech!
#Acxountability and #Consequences are vital...

https://xkcd.com/1357/

@Lilith +9001%

The #LackOfAccountability and #LackOfConsequences is appaling and I'm truly sorry about the sheer number of assholes that get #ConsequenceFreeSpeech instead of actual #FreeSpeec with #Consequences!

Said reactionary hatemongers should face the maximum possible extent of consequences, socially, financially and legally...
