Whole point of free speech is to protect objectionable speech. Even that which defends ISIS or other despicable groups.

@dhh There is a line no society allows to be crossed, AFAICT – actively encouraging a crime. Not sure whether this is applicable here.

@stilkov Absolutely not. You can encourage to crimes all you want. You can't incite *imminent* violence.

@dhh Just pointing out that many countries restrict free speech when it calls for violence. Not necessarily bad IMO, with obvious risks.

@stilkov No, you pointing out that calling for a crime was something no society allows. That's just untrue. Perfectly legal in most places.

@dhh I see, misunderstood you. True, I phrased that badly.

@stilkov And it's perfectly legal to call for many types of violence: Like "let's invade Iraq!".
