The Irish government wants to pass a law that could see you or your loved ones jailed for possession of memes, cartoons or any content that could be deemed "hateful".

The Bill includes no definition of hate and is wide open to abuse by bad actors. Defend free speech – say no to this legislation, and any legislation of is kind… Anywhere!

    Thats a completely different scenario and frankly, you’re being dishonest putting that forward as an example of freedom of expression being blocked.

      There is not freedom of expression if the police can demand that you take down or alter a social media post.

        It’s a well intentioned law to protect child sex abuse victims and the law needs updating to cover this scenario. I think it’s more an example of the ineptitude of the Irish government than anything.
