It's a BBC article, so expect spin/lies.
But it said they can now arrest actors in plays written by long dead playwrights if found offensive by...anyone...

Yeah, they are. Cant imagine the brain rot someone has to have to think that free speech should apply to open calls to violence in today's age

According to the article, you are still allowed to post and discuss your beliefs under the new law. Apparently you can't try to harm others in the process. Is it so bad?


Depends on your definition of harm. If something harms another person physically, then yes it should be illegal. But if it merely offends them or hurts their feelings, then it shouldn't be illegal.

I think they mean more brutal expressions like "all X should go to concentration camps" or "we should beat up Y"

Is that what the law says or is it just your guesses.

I just checked for you.

So encouraging violence is not allowed, as I've said previously.

Encouragin hatred versus someone's gender, race or sexuality is also not allowed.

So this would include expressions like "x has no place in our society ", "y are not humans".

I hate to break this to you, but racism and anti lgbt sentiments are no longer mainstream. Ah the world we're in..

Scotland has a unique mixed legal system in Europe, based on the dual basis of civil law in line with the Code of Justinian and recent common law. The Scottish system is comparable in particular to South African law.

I will not push on it, but i hope it helps.
