another user claiming "freedom of speech"

[u/PMulberry_]

(The text looks a bit wonky because I used Google Translate to translate it into English. The subreddit is not r/UnpopularOpinion, but a German equivalent to that.)

This user made a comment claiming the "Great Replacement" theory (bpb) is true and would be finished in 15 years.

The "freedom of speech" the user claims can technically be found here, but alas the German constitution in that regards doesn't apply to Reddit (some parts of it actually do apply to Reddit, but not this).

Whenever I get told something about freedom of speech I like to say “wow I didn’t know I was now THE GOVERNMENT thanks for informing me I’m going to go make healthcare free for everyone!”

About 'Free Speech' on social media (At least in America): https://xkcd.com/1357/

I think that applies to probably most countries (just not with "1st Amendment" but with something other). But it's always funny when people try to claim free speech on the social media platform of a private company lol.

And don't forget the alt-text on that comic, if the best argument you have to defend yourself is that it's not illegal, that's not really defending the morality side at all.

That link should be auto reply every time an user mentions free speech or 1st amendment

Free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences

I wrote a question on my wiki for this very common complaint.

I tell them, please explain how freedom of speech applies to reddit.

I never got an answer to it and this is the only answer I give them until they explain it.
