Quote from wikipedia

Freedom of speech is being able to speak freely without censorship. The right to freedom of speech is guaranteed under international law through numerous human-rights instruments, notably under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights

I would not liket his thread removed as I would like the public views on this. Oh, and if I'm banned for negativity for one thread then it shows this place is corrupt.

Denying us freedom of speech, freedom to voice our opinions the way we want, IS, and I know it's been said before, a dictatorship.

To quote MAD;

"Freedom of speech only exists in political forums".

Which is a lie, when freedom of speech is a human right, a law.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but it's disgusting that you'd treat something like this so lightly if you are.

No, I'm not - I'm being deadly serious.

The internet is not a democracy or a government. Habbox are a company seeing as they make profit on certain things to pay for the servers etc and can enforce the regulations they want. You wouldn't go into work and call people all names under the sun and expect to get away with it on grounds of "right to free speech".

If you do not like the lack of "free speech" then there are plenty of other forums out there :rolleyes:

You don't go out into the street calling "people all names under the sun" but there's still freedom of speech allowed there.

Wikipedia, excellent source. You usually use Wikipedia when you need some background, not to present an argument. As I can see you have a pretty weak foundation.

Freedom of speech is allowed to be curtailed in private establishments. Even in public, libel is still a crime. You're a little mixed up bud.
