Remember when your democratic politicians actively supported violence and rioting in order to influence the last election?
Either memories are short or you only enjoy extremism when it’s perpetrated by “progressives”.
Lockdown everyone, unless you’re a left wing lunatic setting fire to a city on a social justice crusade.

Who?
I certainly didn’t.
Nor did I see months of politically motivated riots and cities being effectively held to ransom.
Two wrongs don’t make it right.
Whats the chances of you being critical of Antifa or BLM? Again, you support extremism only when it’s on your side.

Still no criticism of BLM or Antifa?
Surprise surprise.

So BLM and Antifa are extremists?

They’ve offended me.
Rioting, looting, breaking lockdowns.
All fully supported and condoned by the social media platforms while cities burned in their name.
Again, you only want opinions silenced when they conflict with your own.

I don't know if they are or not, it would depend on how specific activities are defined by the law, now wouldn't it?

When did I ask you to be silent?

I’m not an extremist. Certainly never been part of a riot or violent protest.
I work hard, I pay my taxes, I abide by the law.
Again, you can’t bring yourself to criticise left wing extremism as you support their cause. When the shoe is on the other foot and your mob face cancellation for your opinions, don’t expect any sympathy from me. I’m a true libertarian, not a socialist hiding behind group think ideology and hijacking language to appear benevolent.

The biggest problem with the left is they’re too dumb to realise that they’re creating a rod for their own back. The first to fall in socialist regimes will be your pink haired tattoo covered LGBTQ types. You think hard working conservative military age men with strong families will be the target of authoritarian regimes or those who are prone to protest? Do the left leaning progressives fare well in countries like China or Russia? Be careful what you wish for.

Extremism acts are defined quite specifically by the laws put in place. If any person or group of people break those laws - online or offline - then they should be held accountable and punished. Is my stance.

You ve been reluctant to criticise the radical left wing extremism and the BLM and Antifa groups. It's quite clear why.

All I see happening here with the Online Safety Act is a moving of existing offline laws of protection of citizens/users to fill in the gaps that exist online. To me the onus to police the platform rests solely with the owners and their agents. The question is will the owners and their agents properly police their platform and not give into their political ideologies, bias' and other weaknesses all humans have to grapple with. If they get sloppy and allow harm to others then users will complain to the proper authorities and the platform owners will be warned, fined or shut down depending on the severity of the infraction or repeated infractions that are ignored.
As I've said too many times to count, free speech with hate/vitriol or types of intimidation/threats or libel/defamation should do no harm to others and it's against the law PERIOD Even ATS does not allow the milder forms of harassment, so I don't see the problem with making sure platform owners actually enforce their policies and follow the law.

But still you have been reluctant to criticise the radical left wing extremism.
The online safety act isn't for the protection of children or citizens. It's quite obvious. Can you not see it?
