Senate ratification of cybercrime treaty

Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, 19 August 2006 10:35.

One matter that really should not go unreported on this page is last week’s Senate ratification of the Council of Europe’s Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.  Due to pressure on time I have only had the briefest look through the original Convention.  It has no direct reference to “hate speech”.  But under its common provisions it appears to provide a catch-all of “other criminal offences committed by means of a computer system” (Article 14 – Scope of procedural provisions, 2b).

Legal opinion, anyone?

The free speech issue: clear arrangements are no luxury. Indeed, Americans are too naive about the real intentions of “democratic” countries such as Belgium, where the left has usurped the Ministry of “Justice”.

I even bet the Belgians are behind this. I remember, some years ago - it was in the papers, the Belgians already tried to convince the Americans to curtail free speech, but were laughed off. Now the Belgians apparently try it again/in another way: creeping and as soon as there is a crack, the Belgians certainly will continue their mole work.

Our enemies have been plotting this for a long time, in England the only way out of this oppression has been to get an american host,so that we are covered by your 2 ammendment?the communist regieme that is at present in power has stiffled all other avenues of legitimate protest , the internet being the last bastion of free speech,so now that the americans are colluding in this conspiracy also,we are effectively silenced, so it looks as if we are all headed for the “cherry tree cafe”

“Belgians”?  Yeah.  Sure.  Just like Foxman is “American”.
