Toni… is NederKrant next ?
-
Dear Toni (Schneider, moderator WordPress.com),
I am shocked to have learned that wordpress, in other words you, have taken http://sioenederland.wordpress.com offline due to complaints by the Dutch MDI. MDI that is merely a leftwing and subsidized extension of “The thought police” (or “Thinkpol” in Orwell’s novel 1984) and not a governmental or governments juridical organization as they falsely like to present themselves and to suggest to you.
It makes me wonder if NederKrant (a pro Israel, pro democracy, pro USA and Islam critical blog, also located at your wordpress server) is or could be the next victim of (leftwing) politically motivated political correctness and your will to aid them. Just because the MDI thought police tends to disagree with the “rightwing” contents of my mind and the (wordpress) blog I express my thoughts on.
It’s useless to discuss the content of http://sioenederland.wordpress.com or http://nederkrant.wordpress.com/ or any other political blog you may or may not host on wordpress. As it’s totally irrelevant whether you or any other agree or disagree with the content due to you own political views. Because that’s what freedom and freedom of speech is al about, isn’t Toni ? The right to express apposing views and thoughts And to express them without being punished or silenced in any way whatsoever.
Whether it’s punished by a government or, as in this case, silenced by a subsidized (leftwing) organization (for as far a they even have the power to do so). Because in my mind Toni, it’s irrelevant whether you or any other perceives the content of my mind and the (wordpress) blog I express my mind on as hateful or discriminatory. Not in the least because that is totally subjective and personal.
Just the mere fact that somebody disagrees with the content of my mind and/ or the (wordpress) blog I express the content of my mind on doesn’t make it illegal, hateful, racist or discriminatory. Not so long ago Turkey blocked wordpress in total with the same arguments as the MDI now tries to motivated you to block certain political blogs you host.
In the case of Turkey you toke a stand against them trying to force you to block certain blogs. You even toke the blocking of your total internet platform for granted to preserve your freedom to host blogs that opposed the Turkish government. I am wondering how this case is any different ?
Dear Toni, the world is made up by views and opposing views and conflicts of interests. Sometimes perceived as hateful, racist or discriminatory by the opposing side. How ever can something so subjective and personal as a (apposing) view and a conflict of interests be a reason to block a platform that expresses this (opposing) view ?
And how can you reconcile your actions against http://sioenederland.wordpress.com and the American constitution (notably under the United States First Amendment) and even the Eurapean version of this HUMANRIGHT (notably under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights) ?
Freedom of speech is the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes preferred, since the right is not confined to verbal speech but is understood to protect any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. Freedom of speech is crucial in any democracy.
Can you serieusly tell me Toni, that in this case wordpress rather follows undemocratic leftwing sunsidized extentions of the thought police (like MDI) that tries to ban freedom of speech/ espression than your own First Amendment or the European version of this humanright ? Accoring to your case with the Turkish government and your heroic stand against them you do not. So please, don´t make a exeption in this case. Not even for the Dutch (fake or not) “government”…
Toni, if they succeed now… than what’s next !?
