Oh how I wished this was satire, but its real LMAO. Really? You’re gonna throw someone in jail just because they called you “fat”?

That’s real fa(t)cism.

    Now this is truly a shit post. It looks shit and reeks of shit made by a shitty American I assume.

    You know your constitutional given right of free speech, yes? Yeah but that doesn’t entail being free of consequences. Or as the cool kids say: fuck around and find out.

    Defamation of public figures has to have consequences especially when they are so god damn shallow as calling Ricarda Lang in 2024 a fattie.

    You also don’t go to jail over this. But the Platform Provider Gab not cooperating with law enforcement is the real scandal here.

      USians somehow tend to think their constitution applies worldwide 😂

      I don’t give a shit about this post or any argument happening, but I am curious about why you think defamation of public figures specifically, has to have consequences?

      I am not a fan of defamation against anyone, but I give the least amount of fucks for any politician. (Maybe one or maybe half of a fuck is given in their case.)

        I think that people don’t have to take shit from bullies and we have laws to help victims in this regard.

      Lmao GAB is an American platform. They have no obligation to cooperate with Neo-Nazis from Germany ordering them to turn over personal information to imprison an innocent internet user. In fact GAB did the right thing by protecting that person.

      Calling a politician fat is not “defamation”. Are you high, friend?

          The nazis engaged in propaganda and punished people who spoke ill against their politicians. This is Nazi behavior. And since we’re in modern times, they are “Neo Nazis”. Neo means “new”.

            Yeah no, Nazism has a meaning and this ain’t it. Especially when you believe that free speech comes with free of consequences. Not even the US constitution says so.

              Wtf does that mean? “free speech” literally means the ability to air ideas without the threat of violence or persecution. So yes, free speech should come without any legal consequence.

        Who are the Neo-Nazis in Germany again? You don’t seem to be an expert or even an informed individual on this issue. Not even in the slightest.

          People threatening to imprison members of the public just because they insulted one of their politicians. That definitely sounds like Nazi behavior to me.

    Gab is a cesspool, can’t find what was actually said but the request states “sexualized and denigrated” so we can assume it went beyond calling her fat.

    This was also more than a year ago so nice try, turns out the actual fascists are still the fascists.

    This is just the world we live in. Trump has hundreds arrested on the daily for the crime of „not voting for him“ or „saying he is old“
