And that’s basically it!
I don't use YouTube, so for those interested:
Ha basically had a ton of music "in which lyrics breached terrorism legislation and intended to incite racial hatred."
And he was distributing these across the UK and EU.
I see nothing wrong about him being charged. Although I would kinda like to hear those lyrics and just how bad theu are. But inciting terrorism, racial hatred and violence should certainly be punishable by law.
Define "inciting"
This is where things get tricky. Leave that ambiguous and technically anything can be "inciting" if it's in words.
Whether that's racism, or anti-authoritarianism, or just speaking I'll about your government.
Freedom of speech, as a concept, doesn't work if it applies only to some speech. Controls around it will be abused and used against you at some point (Look at where the U.S. is heading).
This makes me nervous about more authoritarianism, as it sets a dangerous precedent that can be abused.
tl;dw? I don't want to go to YouTube.

Sigh, why does lemmy add these useless shitty texts automatically without the possibility to exclude them?
I always wondered why I am seeing these German language descriptions. Glad I'm not the only one. Why though??
Because lemmy does some automation that often doesn't work, and for some incredibly stupid reason, you can't disable it when posting.
As a poster you don't have 100% control of what is posted, and that is simply wrong.
