“If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.” (Sir Karl Popper, 28th July 1902 – 17th September 1994)
b. Alexandra Marshall:
Why do people want politicians to control and moderate ‘the truth’ online? No, seriously. Why are so many on the left incapable of thinking for themselves to the point the need a government to pre-edit the social conversation for them? It’s rather pathetic that a human mind could be so weak.
JH: Decades of seeping indoctrination, intergenerational.
c. Peter D. Clack:
If carbon dioxide doubled overnight it would make no measurable difference at all to weather or temperatures anywhere on earth. This is because the effects of CO2 are logarithmic & when you add CO2, the effect diminishes sharply on a sliding scale. Alarmists hope no one notices.
d. Dan Wootton:
Not just a day of shame for the BBC, but the discredited leftist pundits who defended Huw Edwards for political reasons while calling for my cancellation after a left-wing witch hunt. Notably Owen Jones, Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Narinder Kaur. (I’ll) ever listen to them again.
e. Students for liberty:
“The greatest tyrannies are always perpetuated in the name of the noblest causes.” (Thomas Paine)
People want the Government to censor online speech because they are insecure. They want dissenting voices silenced, so they can live online without being challenged for their crackpot ideology. Which is fine as long as the Government aligns with their thinking. They haven't the intelligence to understand that at some point in the future government ideology may be in complete opposition to their opinion and it may be THEM that are being censored and silenced. Free speech has to preserved, because it supports everyone, not just limited interest groups.
