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!

Freedom of expression?

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

[-] SecurityPro@lemmy.ml 0 points 9 months ago

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.
