For months, @BBC has demanded greater censorship of its news media competitors in the name of “fighting misinformation.” But now BBC has been forced to apologize for spreading misinformation. Should BBC be shadowbanned? Deplatformed? Defunded?

BBC has been positively obsessed with portraying pro-censorship advocates as victims, and demanding more censorship for various reasons. Hatred is part of the human condition. The only solution to it is free speech, not censorship.

The BBC has spent the last two years demanding greater censorship by social media platforms of “hate speech.” Then, on Sunday, BBC broadcast a rapper who not only promoted hatred, he called for death. No doubt @mariannaspring will be demanding government censorship of BBC.

The statement 'We’ve been here before' is a succinct response that implies a recurring issue or pattern in the debate over censorship and free speech. It suggests a historical context or precedent for the current situation, possibly indicating skepticism or criticism of the ongoing discourse.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but implies criticism of past actions, which could be seen as constructive.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement is neutral and does not promote understanding or empathy, but it does not detract from it either.
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in the dialogue without personal attacks, maintaining a focus on the issue at hand. [+1]
