London Lord Mayor Calls for Curbs on Free Speech


For John, BLUFThe SJWs are going to miss the First Amendment, after they make it go away in the name of preventing anyone from having hurt feelings.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




Acronym Alert:  SXSW is South by Southwest, which is, per Wikipedia, "an annual conglomerate of film, interactive media, and music festivals and conferences that take place in mid-March in Austin, Texas."

From Business Insider, by Ms Melia Robinson, 12 March 2018.

Here is the lede plus one:

At the annual SXSW festival in Austin on Monday, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, made a moving plea for tech companies to take on hate speech.

During his talk, the mayor read racist tweets about himself.

So, free speech is not to be allowed on the World Wide Web.  Where will it be allowed?  More important, who will define what is acceptable and what is not?

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
