Re: <nettime> The untenable technophobia of the Left

[Florian Cramer <flrncrmr@gmail.com>]

Which naive cyberlibertarian has written up this childish nonsense? 

work". As it happens, a PRIVATE WhatsApp chat got leaked in which some policemen wrote
that they wanted to kill black people and also Madrid's mayor. Not to be outdone, Madrid’s
mayor, Manuela Carmena, champion of the nation's Left and the new hope of its inflexible
institutionalised representatives (Podemos), declared that she will sue the policemen for
hate crime.

Fortunately she does. Criminal intent and conspiracy isn't protected by free speech. If other people ever uttered the intent to kill you (whether or not in a private conversation), you would be glad if you have the legal means of suing them.
