Finland to criminalise Holocaust denial - Lemmy

Let’s say better late than never.

I mean, the holocaust definitely happened, was horrific, and people who deny it either deny history happened at all of are conspiracy theorists, but I don’t like the precedent set by the government specifying what opinions are allowed to have - it doesn’t sound like something we should be celebrating, and anyway, banning opinions just drives them underground, if you want to regulate people’s thoughts you have to legalise them.
But it’s not an opinion. It’s a fact. It should be illegal for me to claim I’m disabled when I’m not or that bleach cures autism. Misinformation should be illegal.
Wait…bleach doesn’t cure autism? Should I stop drinking it?
Since you’re asking that on the internet, I should probably say “no”.
The fact you need to (disclaim) that is just… weird… the net was way better in the 90s.

I too enjoyed the internet more before the normies joined.

Although, to be fair, there’s was a lot less of it.
