Should people saying things that annoy you be illegal in the rest of the world just like it is in the UK?

>The Communications Act 2003 defines illegal communication as “using public electronic communications network in order to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety”. Breaking the law carries a six-month prison term or fine of up to £5,000.

>In 2015, 857 people were detained, up 37 per cent increase since 2010.

The UK has always (as far back as I can remember, and I am 50) had legislation to prevent the mail and phone networks being used for harassment (which has nothing to do with "hate speech"). The original laws were to prevent things like death threats, nuisance callers, heavy breathers, wierdos sending porn to your house, and suchlike. I imagine most other civlilsed nations have similar legislation.
But "hate speech" laws are the work of Satan, and must be destroyed.

No, of course not you fucking freak. Once they can control the language, they can shut down all our counter-attacks because they would be (((national security))) threats.

get your head out of your ass man.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
