Spanish Judge Wants to End Social Media Anonymity in Suspected “Hate Crime” Cases

Previously: Spanish Police Monitoring Social Media After Stabbing of 11-Year-Old Boy Sparks “Hate”

If people just assume that a stabbing was done by an immigrant, then there is some kind of problem in society.

But even if you don’t think that, you can’t tell people they’re not allowed to assume something. It doesn’t make any sense. People are allowed to be wrong. People are allowed to lie. The media lies constantly. Telling people that it’s illegal to lie on social media is insane.

The Guardian:

A Spanish judge has called for an end to social media anonymity in the wake of a wave of online disinformation after the killing of an 11-year-old boy.

Miguel Ángel Aguilar, a judge from the court that handles hate crimes and discrimination, wants to oblige platforms to reveal users’ true identity in cases of suspected hate crime so the law can impose digital restraining orders.

 Miguel Angel Aguilar is a kikesucker.

The move comes after the killing last Sunday of a boy in a village near Toledo in central Spain. He was playing football with friends when a man with his face concealed by a scarf ran on to the field and stabbed him numerous times.

It sounds like an immigrant stabbing. You can definitely see why someone would assume that was the case, because many immigrant stabbings have occurred in this manner.

But again, even if the people posting that it was an immigrant knew it wasn’t an immigrant, what does that mean?

(The answer, apparently, is that it would be “inciting hatred.” But how can that ever be proved?)

In an echo of the disinformation that followed the murder of three young girls in Southport in the north of England last month, posts appeared on social media almost immediately falsely linking the attack to immigration and in particular to so-called menas, unaccompanied minors, the majority of them from north Africa.

No, no – in the UK, it was literally an immigrant. They got his religion wrong, but that was irrelevant.

The police have since arrested a 20-year-old Spanish man. He was visiting his father in the village and is thought to have mental health problems.

Aguilar said in a television interview on Wednesday that purveyors of hate speech should be identified and that social media platforms should be forced to reveal their true identity if the judiciary requested it.

“Creating a climate of stigmatisation via social media can translate into acts of violence in the street,” he said. “When a crime is committed on social media we must be able to identify the source.

“It would be interesting to see how people behave on social media if they know they can be identified, and especially if the judiciary wants to know who they are.”

Maybe it’s a real crime in Spain to lie on the internet if your lie is “racially motivated.” That is apparently the case. Maybe the judge is right about that.

But taking away everyone’s anonymity cannot possibly be justified by saying “some people are breaking the law with internet posts and we can’t figure out who they are.”
