Frightening, to say the least.
Very interesting article. I think we can all agree that those examples they cited are offensive, some very offensive but it's the typical "slippery slope".
Who decides what is offensive, that's very subjective. Some people find almost everything offensive, others read it and actually agree. Unless there's a credible direct threat to someone it shouldn't be censored.
I don't know if this will ever become law because we have the First Amendment but a lot of things are happening that I never thought could happen here.

There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
I found it be interesting too, for lack of better words. I actually found it to be quite scary and were it to happen here, I'd consider it treading on my rights.Originally Posted by Jeanlouise

Oh, I love this line:
It and related laws were intended to deal with hate mail or menacing phone calls to individuals, but they are being used to prosecute in cases where there seems to be no individual victim — and often no direct threat.
