Those advanced and superiorly intellectual Europeans teaching the world a lesson in “tolerance.”
Norway’s hate speech bill was passed on a second reading without the need for a full vote, after legislators supported it during its first reading last week. Based on the penal code, people found in violation can be jailed up to three years for hate speech conducted in public, which is defined broadly as a “place intended for general traffic or frequented by the public.”
“If the act consists of making a statement, it is also public if the statement is made in a way that makes it likely to reach a sizable number of persons,” the penal code adds.
Norway Passes Law Banning Hate Speech Against Transgender, Bisexual People
This old quote is now a felony in Norway.
“Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.”
Woody Allen
This is the insanity. As usual, what is defined as Hate Speech is vague and that gives the government the ability to shut down any speech it desires. How vague?
Although members of the neo-Nazi group Nordic Resistance Movement also targeted LGBTQ+ activists by coming to events and taking photos of those in attendance as an act of intimidation, overall, most cases of hate speech took place online, according to a review from ILGA-Europe.
See? Taking photos of a “protected group” in a public space can be Hate Speech and intimidation if you are not also a government approved citizen. Taking a photo of Trans or Bi people is a crime. That means the article I am quoting should be against the new law and at least the writer or the editor and surely Lev Radin of Getty Images, should go to prison for three years.
But we know it will only be applied to “enemies of the state.”
