Censorship pressure in the EU
jeudi 29 janvier 2015 à 13:00There is pressure to ban a broad collection of unsavory political positions and historical views in the EU.
I don't like those positions, and I don't agree with those views, but this censorship violates basic human rights.
The UK Green Party leader condemned criminalization of membership in terrorist organizations.
Certainly having sympathy with the aims of a terrorist organization should not be a crime — because that is thoughtcrime.
Membership in an organization that uses criminal means is a borderline case, because it accepts in a way responsibility for that organization's actions, not only its aims.
However, organizations should never be banned by decree. That should require a trial.
