Concerns Raised Over Ireland's Proposed Speech Restriction Bill
-
Anarcho-tyranny fails to protect citizens from violence yet persecutes innocent conduct. It causes fear of rising crime and arbitrary criminalization.
-
Ireland's new bill would criminalize speech likely to incite hatred or violence against protected groups, allowing vengeful prosecution.
-
The bill could be used to silence inconvenient political actors like MMA fighter Conor McGregor, who spoke out against immigration and inconsistent policing.
-
The bill restricts freedom of speech in the name of the "common good" - but whose good? Not the people's.
-
Systems of anarcho-tyranny, like the one emerging in Ireland, serve the powerful while failing citizens.
