| Message | Beniamino Massa, Leader of AI We agree fully with article 2, however we have our issues with Article 1, as even though we denounce the Alt-Right, and any hate speech, we believe that it still infringes on free speech, Which is a foundation of our society. False information is obviously propaganda or purposeful misinformation, and should be banned. With hate speech we are afraid that it will be taken too far and be directed specifically against us to fulfill your political goals. Therefore we ask to simply prohibit falsehood publications (OOC: I believe there is that option, if not disregard that). |
