    sigh

    Again it is.

    Neither of those links suggested that it was illegal to lie. Why not? Because it is fucking impossible to tie that rule into a working possibility. Go read your own links yourself, because it is obvious that you haven’t.

    It talks about limitations on hate speech, etc, but you can lie without hate speech.

    Freedom of speech is an ideal, and is tied to state control of speech. There are all kinds of limitations, including public safety and defamation, etc. But if I called you a Martian, obviously that is a lie. What happens? Does the free speech police lock me up?

    I’m not interested in personal attacks, by the way.

      Which part of “the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas” caused you trouble?

      So, are you a USian?

        I’m not sure if you are trolling or not, because any plain English reading is obvious

        Your own quote, as set out below…

        “the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas”

        That also applies to incorrect information ideas… or… lies. Or the truth… Or fantasy… Or anything in between…

        It doesn’t specify truth or otherwise. You are free to assume anything you care to - but it’s not in the actual text.

        As to your question, I have no clue about your insistence on me being whatever the thing is you keep repeating.

          Are you a little bit slow?

          Which part of “information” or “ideas” cover lies?

          So, are you a USian as misunderstanding of free speach is common there?

            Sorry, you crossed the line when you made a ad hominem attack.

            I don’t get personal in debates, I let the point of view do the heavy lifting.

            See ya.

              What ad hominem, sweetie? Asking if you are a USian? I explained why. Asking if you are a little bit slow? Your lack of understanding of two simple words certainly points that way.
