A lot of the focus of this conversations today is on censorship, who's controlling

speech, who's making decisions in the government, and are we going to be allowed to speak out

and say, hey, I don't agree with that.

Are we going to lose that opportunity?

But all these conversations are censorship, which is after I've posted something, after

I've put something out, but so many dystopian novels and books and movies out there have

been about what if you were being arrested for things you're thinking about or just

looking at or reading or researching or what if somebody tweeted a question to you that

somehow could be considered as capable of inciting violence.

Even if it's hidden in the middle of your home and was never going to be out in the light

of day, there's a new law that's being tested out in Ireland where they can kick in your

door and come and arrest you for things that you're reading and thinking about.

Take a look at this.

The Minister for Justice is to strengthen the law against hate crimes and hate speech

with the aim of making it easier to secure convictions in the courts.

With some caution that they will be examining the published bill to ensure there is no impact

on freedom of speech.

What we don't want to do here is to have a piece of legislation that ends up criminalizing

the wrong people.

Even to be in possession of material.

Without even sharing it, anybody can get a knock on the door.

I warrant from the garvy.
