[i]Le Pen...is facing charges of circulating “violent messages that incite terrorism or pornography or seriously harm human dignity”, and that can be viewed by a minor. The crime is punishable by up to three years in prison and a fine of €75,000 (£66,000).[/i] I also didn't look at the pictures because I have a personal policy not to view things that DAESH is putting out as propoganda but apparently the pictures were of the Jordanian Pilot being burned, a beheading of an american hostage and a guy being crushed by a tank. There had been some text added. Seems to me that she would have been charged if she had been posting pictures of random murders and the fact that its ISIS related is really a secondary point. I don't know enough about the French law to go much further than that. As for policing speech on the internet. I think enforcement of existing hate speech laws and what not is probably fine. I'd maybe like to see a little more enforcement of threats of violence (who hasn't collected a few rape threats) but I understand that this is hard to enforce from a practical standpoint. Basically if it would be illegal to do it in a public setting I'd probably be ok with it in an online one. Things like porn and such are in an at least theoretically private setting and I suppose that images and videos like those Le Pen is accused of spreading should exist in such theoretically private spaces. Provided they dont have calls to kill all muslims/jews/Rohinga or whatever which would be covered under hate speech laws. Also Fuck the National Front.
