Dear listers
We need to take this seriously. We have a big election coming up, and given the potential candidates, election violence is a real possibility.
We have an opportunity here to prepare for the deluge.
Under what conditions should we look at shutting down communication?
There are no conditions under which Article 19 of the UDHR should be violated. What

none Who determines what hate speech is?
Should twitter be shut down before the election? or should we have a text to tweet system, where hate speech can be filtered?
This is censorship, which in my value system is never a good thing! -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how we get there." Jon Postel
