RE: [Freedom of Speech] It's a joke you f!&king c%nts | Count Dankula and the Nazi Pug
I could watch it on youtube, but not here embedded. It was funny because the dog was just not doing it for the longest time and only till after watching a video did the dog finally succumb to the "brainwashing" (which i guess was the point?). It did go on a bit too long. I don't think this was a criminal as it did not seem to incite hate or acts of racial hate which at least in the U.S. is I think in the law's language. Not really sure though I haven't looked it up.
Another thing I realised the other day, with all the controversy surrounding YouTube over the past year or so, if they thought his video was hate speech, they'd have booted him off the platform faster than you could say authoritarianism. Yeah I think the general consensus is it went on way too long, but exactly like you said, that's not inciting hate or acts of racial hatred (I'd been trying to think of that terminology for so long, thank you!). There's something funny about the Scottish court that held the trial, I believe there was no jury and it was just down to the judge's judgement.
