A Nigerian woman who wrote an online review of a can of tomato puree is facing imprisonment after its manufacturer accused her of making a “malicious allegation” that damaged its business.
She’s a person in a position of power due to being a business owner and her followers, just like anyone else in that position, they should know better and are held to higher standard.
She fucked up and would be sued anywhere in the world for her remarks, sorry for pointing out facts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ shits not free speech when you are in some positions, she crossed that line:
Describe what you mean by “freedom of speech” here, I’m assuming you don’t mean the first amendment because that only applies in the US and only for protection against congress ( the US congress ofc ).
Given the above I’m not sure what line you mean here, libel/slander?
You can only point out facts that exist, well, you can technically point out whatever you like and call it “fact” i suppose, but it’s not really accurate unless it’s an actual fact.
Freedom of speech is a cultural and institutional phenomenon, which happens to be mentioned by the US Bill of Rights.
It is not a term which refers to the US amendment, any more than “peaceably assemble” or “levy taxes” or “quartering of troops” are references to parts of the US Constitution.
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, adopted during the French Revolution in 1789, specifically affirmed freedom of speech as an inalienable right.[6] Adopted in 1791, freedom of speech is a feature of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
I mean you can just find in page for “United States”
Also , not american (a good example of an actual fact) and i very specifically ruled out the typical american interpretation of freedom of speech.
The fact that i was asking you what interpretation you were using implies i recognise more than just one, so even if i were american (again, not american) the question would still stand.
I also , very specifically asked what interpretation you were using for your argument, but it seems we’ve skipped over the questions entirely and gone straight to factually incorrect personal attacks.
I’ll just assume you don’t have an answer to the actual question given no attempt was made to actually answer it, or perhaps you think your position is unassailable and an answer is beneath you.
Regardless, good luck with fact pointing i suppose.
if someone pointing out that you are saying “fact” but aren’t meeting any of the definitions of a fact seems like an attack to you i suspect you’re probably having a bad time on the internet.
Again you dodge most of the actual points of the conversation, probably intentionally.
Also i’m pretty sure “Fucking lmfao.” has a redundant “Fucking” in it , but I’m not holding my breath on you caring about that given how this has gone so far.
Doesn’t seem like this is going to go anywhere interesting, so I’ll just add you to the blocklist and be happy nothing of value(to me) was lost.

Unless accuracy isn’t what you were going for ?

Did you mean to reply to me? Or the person above?
Not intended as a retort
Where is the United States even mentioned Here…?
Thanks for being the stereotypical ignorant American who has to make everything about themselves while also making a complete moron of themselves.
Fucking lmfao.
Here is one example

edit: added answer to your question
You started with the personal attacks first, so why the fuck do you think you deserve better back?
Fucking lmfao.
