The total shout of the author, amongst his technology scientific discipline degree, may live constitute inwards the original Czech text
What is beingness prepared behind our backs?
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few days ago, a screenshot [see above] landed amidst my messages. It came from Nyx, a give-and-take server. The user nicknamed ZUZKAOU (Ms Zuzana Ouhrabková, from NGO named PostBellum) is trying to bring out volunteers. Volunteers who volition assist the NGO InIustitia. The assist volition include the volume writing of criminal complaints because they're running out of their capacities. Criminal complaints, denouncements, against boyfriend citizens. To brand certain that they volition confront prosecution, they volition take hold a problem, as well as they volition take hold to live careful side past times side time. They volition take hold to watch... their tongue.
I am a coder. I take hold been on the Internet since the beginning, from 1995. [I take hold been on the Internet since 1992, LM.] At the beginning, it was a squarely scholarly-intellectual infrastructure. The Internet underwent its puberty later, when the high schools joined. Then it became harsher as well as to a greater extent than folksy when the dial-ups were added. These days, it's oft a cesspool. But on top of that, it also remained a gratis source of the information where, aside from total stupidities, you lot may also bring out some facts that you lot couldn't acquire from the official media.
And that's why the Internet became inconvenient for someone. Proposals how to censor it belong to the official agenda of contemporary political parties every bit good every bit NGOs. An instructing seminar on this theme addressed to the pedagogic workers took seat today, inwards the Scouts' (!) Institute on the Old Town Square inwards Prague. I am also a instructor who has taught machine codes as well as assemblers on the Czech Technical University for 17 years. I am also involved amongst the pedagogic issues of the leisure time, I am doing slam-poetry as well as theatre improvisation inwards DDM. So I am the target group. That's why I registered myself for the event.
Scouts inwards the services to convey a rosier future
The Scouts' Institute has been cooperating amongst the multicultural NGOs (People In Need, HateFree, as well as others) for a long time. There are several similar events over at that topographic point each month. Some of the groups of scouts fifty-fifty openly declare their affiliation amongst the extreme left. Their shared enemies are racism, Islamophobia, the "polite Czech", as well as his wrong opinions. Especially those that are beingness displayed on the social networks. Because those opinions tin live monitored from the comfort of our warm homes. And labeled. Classified. Reported as well as denounced. And what's the right way to practice so, that was going to live explained past times instructors on this seminar.
The instructors were Mr Jaroslav Valůch (a co-founder of HateFree Culture) as well as Ms Vlasta Urbanová (a teacher, writer of pedagogic as well as methodological materials, from People inwards Need as well as One World at Schools). The workshop was organized past times the Multicultural Center Prague (Ms Anna Hubáčková) as well as it was funded past times the Prague's City Hall as well as the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You must tell yourself: This Gentleman must live a gourmet as well as a masochist. No, I am not. I just wanted to know how these people want the instruction of the children as well as students towards the "right thinking" as well as "desirable opinions" to seem like.
An excursion to the lion's den
The seminar began amongst the "common activities" inwards monastic tell to create a collective atmosphere. If you're a leader of a grouping of children, you lot must know it. All 22 participants (I was reminded of Heller) introduced themselves as well as they were supposed to say "where they're going to refill their power". To accuse their batteries. Does it intend that the NGOs are running out of steam? Not at all. They experience enthusiastic at nowadays as well as you lot volition view why momentarily. Ms Vlasta Urbanová started amongst a well-known optical illusion, a secession-era image demonstrate showing the duality of a daughter as well as an old woman. The usage was to realize that it's non of import what nosotros view but the right perspective to seem at it. Black may live white but the color has to live looked at through the proper ideological eyes (I couldn't avoid thinking nearly some other number, 1984).
What followed was the distribution of a quiz where everyone was supposed, inwards the context of the deal against stereotypes, to extract some stereotypes from his ain mind, after all. It was rather unnatural. They included the rather well-known selection of a boyfriend rider inwards the train, a dilemma of the blood donor, as well as the selection of neighbors inwards an floor edifice [from nine ethnic groups, view the photograph above]. It was followed past times a debate inwards circles as well as a statistical evaluation of the answers as well as why they were preferred. The reactions of the participants generally pleased me. The people were correctly emphasizing that every human is unlike so it's non right to process individuals according to prejudices. Because it's hateful, racist, as well as xenophobic. And that's what they are not. Nevertheless, inwards the absence or shortage of information, they would ultimately pick according to some preferences. However, that was no longer racism but a affair of their personal experience as well as the totally rational minimization of the risks. I wanted to refer that they should acknowledge the existence of the same legitimate concerns believed past times the critics of volume migration as well as Islamization who "should" live expelled from the social networks. But at the end, I remained silent.
Afterwards, nosotros were urged to specify possible reasons behind people's intend demeanour on the Internet. Traditional damage from the textbooks at humanities as well as pedagogic colleges were heard: frustration, anger, personal unhappiness, the thirst to excel, influence of the media. I am deciding to disrupt this gallery of pseudo-reasons as well as I say: "and also the religious background". Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 surprised Ms Urbanová stops herself. She burns a hole through me past times the glance of an Inquisitor as well as she asks me, amongst a vocalisation indicating blackmail: "What practice you lot intend past times that?!" I answered: "What I intend is that some religions aren't likewise welcoming towards members of other beliefs. And this ideological hatred is oft demonstrated inwards Western Europe from the historic flow grouping of kindergartens these days." She asks in 1 trial once again what I am hinting at. So I add, good, I take hold a personal experience amongst a distant Iraqi cousin of mine who was born inwards Prague (partly due to a scam because it was paid past times the socialist Czechoslovakia). He is ashamed for his childhood inwards Prague's suburb of Dejvice, inwards spite of the fact that inwards this diplomatic neighborhood, he had things that we, Husák's children [Czechoslovak children born around 1974 due to president Husák's pro-natality policies, including LM], could only dream about. He hates our province as well as he despises our society. He considers this childhood to live an irreversible dirt on his Muslim ego as well as he is trying to undo this sin. At to the lowest degree past times sitting inwards Amman's mosque every unmarried day, studying the Quran as well as hadith. Isn't this an instance of a failure of integration, already decades ago, when it was getting started as well as when it couldn't take hold been blamed on whatever "Islamophobia" because the latter didn't exist? I am beingness told that this doesn't belong here. And nosotros wouldn't talk nearly it. "So volition nosotros only bargain amongst the hypothetical or virtual hatred?" I enquire them. "And to overlook the existent hatred?" But they yelled at me non to brand the give-and-take off-topic. Others are looking at me amongst disgust. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 pause is getting started.
May I know where you lot work?
During the break, Ms Vlasta catches me as well as drags me to a private role of the room.
"Listen, what practice you lot do?"
"Why am I here? What are my specific reasons to attend?"
"No. What's your occupation. Where practice you lot work?"
"I am a coder. In 1 corporation. And I learn at a college."
"Which college?"
"A technical one, ČVUT. Machine codes. I am non dragging politics to assembler, of course, the schoolhouse should rest apolitical."
"I see. You know... I wanted to enquire you. Not to participate inwards this trial anymore. And halt persuading the people. Deal?"
"No. You know, this whole thing looks similar the get-go of censorship to me. Censorship of inconvenient opinions. Restrictions of the discussion, online, at schools, towards the children. I don't similar it as well as that's why I am here."
"Fine but you lot tin beak nearly these things elsewhere, can't you?"
"Why non here? In fact, our corporation is amidst those that's been funding your One Summer World. But only a one-sided view is beingness heard here. Don't you lot want a discussion? I take hold the right to limited my counteropinion."
"You are non deciding who is funding whom but unlike people! And the thing you lot are talking nearly isn't a uncomplicated problem. It doesn't take hold tardily solutions."
"That's just why it's vital to beak nearly it. I know Islam as well as its implications from my personal experience. By labeling as well as silencing the foes, tin nosotros brand it at a solution?"
"Look. You are dull me. This whole debate amongst you lot bores me. You won't fifty-fifty allow me consummate my monologue, you lot are constantly trying to debate amongst something piece you lot are missing..."
"Is it you lot who came hither to beak to me? To debate?... Or why? I am just responding. And I know how to defend my attitudes, I know how to argue. Is that bad?"
"Maybe you lot know how to practice that... but I am telling you: I don't want to debate someone similar you."
She glanced at me amongst some other seem of a seven-headed woman somebody dragon, every bit if I were a naughty truant. You tin still view the years she spent at a mechanical apprentice school. She leaves, really upset. And I am feeling similar a pariah. It's similar every bit when, decades ago, our comrade instructor took me to the corner as well as asked me why I was the only 1 who doesn't attend the events of the Pioneer [communists' children organization, I had similar experience, LM]. And fear. Isn't Ms Urbanová going to pick her telephone as well as enquire someone at my workplace? Or volition I live terminated at FIT? Maybe forbidden opinions ceased to live a affair of fun again.
Hatred v2.0: Why are nosotros hajting, what does it say nearly us, as well as what to practice amongst it?
I founded HateFree Culture
My sour fantasies were interrupted past times some other role of the event. Mr Jaroslav Valůch introduces himself. He is a fresh father. He's been out of HateFree Culture for 2 years. Now he is working inwards the Budapest-based Center for the Research of Genocides, but that doesn't preclude him from speaking on behalf of the cancelled-uncancelled HateFree (they are waiting for some other grant, government minister Mr January Chvojka finally decided non to abolish the project, despite contradicting previous statements, but the media were no longer informing nearly that reversal). The master HateFree materials were supplemented amongst novel insights past times Jaroslav. About genocides. He newly considers Islamophobia as well as Hate Speech to live phenomena that Pb to genocides. Like those inwards Rwanda as well as Kosovo (even though the old was a conflict of tribes as well as the latter was the separation of a Muslim minority as well as the nativity of a totally new, fully Islamized, at nowadays basically failed, state). I wanted to refer the massacre against the Armenians, the devastation of the advanced Christian Lebanese Republic past times the Muslim migrants from Palestine, but I rest quiet. Mr Valůch continues past times alert against Islamophobia that leads to anti-Semitism as well as is a ground why the Jewish communities are worried. That's already likewise much for me as well as I ask: "So how is it possible that the greatest ongoing exodus is 1 from France? Which has been a shopwindow of the religious tolerance for long years? Are these Jews fleeing the Islamic suburbs, or away from the French Islamophobes? Why has French Republic lived inwards some sort of a martial law as well as a job for 2 years? Is it because of Islamophobia?"
Mr Jaroslav is fortunately to a greater extent than accessible to discussions than Ms Urbanová. He allows me to interrupt him, he listens as well as he is explaining. In fact, he surprised me pleasantly. It's all nearly the traditions, stupid. When nosotros turn down Islam, nosotros may also want to ban ritual circumcissions or slaughters. And it has sadly already taken place, e.g. inwards Denmark. And fifty-fifty the Jews are restricted past times that. That's why they are logically afraid that they could live the side past times side victims inwards line, right after the Muslims. Another player is joining the exchange, a guy from Litvínov [a Petro Metro] (he must take hold some ties to the Social Bakers projection because he has detailed information nearly it). I am quest him whether he supports these ritual slaughters, woman somebody circumcision, as well as other medieval acts. He raises his vocalisation as well as chastises me: "Of course of study I practice not! But this is nearly the principle, you lot know!" So does he back upwards them? And don't I attention nearly the principles every bit well? Once again, people are yelling at me from all directions as well as a woman somebody instructor amongst a well-preserved appearance who is sitting inwards front end of me says "this can't live possible... I don't want to hear to that" as well as she ostentatiously leaves for the toilet. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 unlike sentiment won't live tolerated here. In the shout of tolerance.
Can you lot seat hatred on the Internet?
After that, Jaroslav distributes a document amongst examples of the Internet hatred. We are supposed to say what nosotros think nearly each example. Whether as well as how much it is dangerous, how it may live punished or reported. One of these examples is a mistaken quote past times a Czech legendary instrumentalist Mr January Werich [suggesting that earlier the war, Werich said that Nazism was unsafe because it reminded him of Islam as well as its want to ban ordinary things]. The homo who got this exceptional job responds that the quote is a rather apt description of totalitarianism inwards general. He is straight off taught that the quote was a hoax. It was taken from a mistaken profile of the existent spokesman of the Czech president, Mr Ovčáček. Werich hasn't ever said such a thing so nosotros can't beak over the quote at all. Is it clear? The Gentleman defends himself past times proverb that the quote is apt, anyway, but he's out of luck. The quote has been predetermined to live an instance of the hatred on the Internet.
On the other hand, I am getting a text past times Ms Hana Bočková from the Bazar of Plants. She's been prosecuted for that text. I know something nearly that trial. My woman somebody colleague tries to maintain her distance from me (I am already considered a dark sheep of the collective over here) but she is sensible. She doesn't think that the text is unsafe but she knows null nearly the case. I tell her: "It was a mistaken event. Neither the appointment nor the seat are correct. These things are concerned amongst the Al Adha vacation which was inwards September, at to the lowest degree inwards 2015. But existent things similar that are sometimes taking place. Including inwards Europe, e.g. inwards Austria." An explosion of laughter. "This can't live possible, to hear to such idiocies," a manly somebody instructor side past times side to me teaches me. I am adding that after all, it's fifty-fifty taking seat inwards our country, a woman somebody friend of mine is from the agricultural industry. For several years, they take hold sold the possibility to ritually slaughter a caprine animal or a lamb. In monastic tell to fulfill their religious duty. This service is beingness provided illegally, of course. Another salvo of laughter. That's something completely different, isn't it? When these believers pay for that, as well as so everything is alright, isn't it? Again, I prefer to homecoming to the soundless regime.
Among these documents, 1 text is paradoxically taken from the official media, namely a famous President Zeman's quote inwards the Lidovky daily [see above: inwards the title, Zeman says that people should arm themselves, fence should live built, as well as migrants deported]. The woman somebody instructor who has previously emigrated to the bathroom every bit a refugee fleeing me is self-evidently unhappy when people are arguing nearly anything as well as when they are a job to anyone. She suggests that she doesn't similar Zeman as well as she doesn't want to comment on his quote at all. But others are encouraging her. Of course, they loathe him every bit well. At the end, she feels encouraged plenty as well as tells us that it is a unsafe suggestion past times Zeman. Because an official said it. And that's why it tin easily Pb to hatred as well as murders. People are stupid as well as they allow themselves to live affected past times that. Especially Zeman's voters who are normally less intelligent. I am objecting: "Zeman is in all probability non beingness voted for past times morons only. The border fence discussed inwards the quote has been a reality for quite some fourth dimension inwards Hungary, Macedonia, as well as fifty-fifty Austria. Deportations of refused asylum seekers is dictated past times the electrical flow laws as well as weapons amidst the civilians are effectively preventing terrorism. In Israel, for example. So what is invalid nearly Zeman's claims? What is intend nearly them? Especially when Lidovky [arguably the most politically right daily] published them?"
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 nearby homo is turning his eyes to the heaven as well as yells inwards a simple-minded way: "That jerk wants to drag every colorful guy out of his motorcar as well as plunk him!" I am responding that I don't want to practice anything of the sort. And I am non proverb anything similar that, either. But that's how the massacre inwards Nice, as well as to a greater extent than lately inwards Cambrils, was shortened. And it's business-as-usual inwards Israel. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lady on some other side is informing others amongst the intonation of an expert: "That's what these people are e'er doing. Be careful nearly that. They bring out some arguments, unreliable arguments, God knows what the sources are, as well as they start to pretend that they are persuading you. They are literally beating you lot amongst these arguments. On the other hand, you lot are non fifty-fifty watching what's going on. You don't fifty-fifty want to watch. At the same moment, they are missing the essence which should live discussed." I reply that everyone tin verify the information easily, cannot he? In every discussion, arguments should live investigated.... Silence. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 little salvo of laughter. Only some other player cures the painful soundless situation. In Israel, it's completely different, nosotros hear. They are only preventing the full general terrorism but that has null to practice amongst the Palestinians or Islam. They merely take hold terrorism inwards State of Israel so they are solving it. He has been there, he knows it. Only inwards Czechia, everyone straight off wants to shoot at Muslims, as well as that's how nosotros differ. I respond that I don't believe that it plant similar that. The immature homo is only smiling. As if he just taught something to a first-grader. Mr Jaroslav concludes past times proverb that it's troublesome when the declaration comes from the president but it also way that nosotros currently can't practice anything nearly it. At to the lowest degree the president still has some liberty of speech, I subconsciously tell myself. [Well, inwards 2005, I had to bring out that "not fifty-fifty the president of Harvard had the liberty of speech, what nearly the right-wing junior faculty?" as well as I was deeply frustrated past times that insight for the next 2 years or so. LM]
Physical attacks past times the Politeczechs take hold already begun!
Mr Jarda Valůch, feeling the back upwards of the abode fans, is chop-chop switching to some other topic. Namely the consequences of the hatred on the Internet. He way the attacks against Muslims as well as minorities. I am responding past times proverb that he should also seem at the opposite problem: "Look at the message past times rapper Olloph Samorost on Facebook where you lot tin find, on the contrary, a display of hatred of the gypsies against the majority. The number is counted inwards overwhelming hundreds. Some of the contributions are ripe for criminal complaints. But no 1 is reporting them. We suspect that the Romani people are emotional. Wouldn't it live an overreaction? With many of them, I could peacefully debate, without those fucked-up gadzhas [gypsy slur for non-gypsies], kicking of the buckets, cancers, as well as kettles into muzzles. Isn't it the right fourth dimension to halt talking nearly this hatred on the Internet? How many people realistically want to gas or shoot someone dead? These are just emotional screams. Why would nosotros overstate or criminalize them?"
Jarda, as well as I appreciate it, reacts past times proverb that he knows nearly that problem. And that he in all probability forgot to include this display of a intend emotion to his collection. And really, he manages to chop-chop bring out a intend screenshot written past times a Romani somebody as well as he is copying it to the folder along amongst the previous ones. And he agrees that he also doesn't want to criminalize anybody. But at that topographic point are other methods to deal it, every bit nosotros would live shown momentarily. And they're needed. He's showing an Info.cz article (a politically right version of the Blesk/Flash tabloid, created after Křetínský as well as Tkáč acquired Ringier, a top mag company) nearly the assault against a pair of woman somebody Muslims inwards Šárka [a slice of wild nature inwards Prague named after a adult woman from the Old Czech Legends]. I am objecting past times proverb that the championship is untrue. "The adult woman has only taken pictures of the pair of the Muslims but they prevented her from leaving, to live certain that the pictures would never live published. So the storyline was basically the opposite 1 as well as after all, fifty-fifty the [multicultural] Respekt mag has written nearly it." Jaroslav says, Yes, he has also read the article inwards Respekt. But where practice I view the job all the time? I respond that my job is amongst the manipulative headline at Info.cz. They are merely lying past times image the story inwards the opposite way. Or is the thesis that "it's unsafe to spread hoaxes" invalid when the mainstream media are at stake? But he chop-chop beats me amongst an unexpected, laconic reaction: "But I didn't write the headline!" An explosion of laughter. My declaration – namely why he has spent so much loose energy to debate that it's unsafe to spread hoaxes – is hence totally overwritten past times this loud superficial laughter.
Draw how you lot envision a typical Czech "hejtr" [hater, spelled inwards Czech]
Another incredible role of the trial follows. We are asked to separate ourselves into groups as well as these groups should depict a image demonstrate of a typical Czech "hejtr". That way a petty homo who is total of stereotypes, amongst all of his [or less probable her] attributes. Pioneers, depict a kulak, I can't resist to think nearly a communist-era analogy. OK, I take the challenge as well as depict a muscular Nazi guy. However, I straight off cross all of his stereotypical attributes. How tin an sentiment that 80% of the patch agrees amongst live expressed past times whatever exceptional archetype at all? Colleagues aren't likewise happy nearly my signal – as well as view it every bit my want to brand fun out of the serious event. I am told to practice what nosotros were told as well as agreed to do. But at the end, they acquire out me alone. At the end, nosotros only concur that they are people of 35+ years historic flow group, some core age. I am pointing out that this is remarkably agreeing amongst the experience from the communist totalitarianism. Maybe this is the historic flow grouping that is merely to a greater extent than sensitive nearly the censorship, propaganda, non-freedom, as well as restrictions of the personal expression. After all, after the Nov 1989 Velvet Revolution, nosotros would enthusiastically beak nearly the civic society, activities from below... So why is it all of a abrupt such a large job when people are sharing their views nearly migration as well as the European Union policies?
Draw a hero from a Soviet fairy-tale, my comrade instructor told me when I was a first-grader.
The lady from the front end gives me a lesson. She also remembers the 1990s but when the people wanted pluralism at that time, it was clear that no 1 meant the airheaded as well as insane opinions which nosotros tin bring out all over the Internet now. I am telling her that it is also a role of a gratis as well as opened upwards discussion. People may take themselves. Censorship can't supercede critical thinking. Remarkably, she responds amongst a No! It's because many people are only choosing the information selectively (she implicitly presents herself every bit the image of objectivity) as well as they want to usage the information to debate inwards favor of a predetermined fixed purpose. I am an instance of that. That's why it's vital to filter as well as cheque the information as well as non to give whatever room to such people. Because the existent give-and-take nearly of import principles as well as values of the gild could endure every bit a result.
My God, that's great! Would these people actually experience desperate without a promise for a rosy hereafter total of censorship? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 novel type of loathe speech, the defamation of a grade or a lifestyle, is thankfully non yet a law-breaking inwards Czech Republic because the government minister of judge Mr Robert Pelikán postponed the amendment this May. They won't live able to consummate the proceedings nearly this amendment earlier the election but because it's a role of the harmonization amongst the legal scheme of the European Union, nosotros won't escape that. That's why the NGOs experience so energized as well as this whole agenda of snitches is merely a grooming for the province of affairs when this law comes to force. On the Internet, the criticism of anybody or whatever demeanour or ideology volition live punishable. Every reporting of a message may acquire potential Hate Speech. Officially. Islam as well as its definitions volition in all probability acquire some other exception because those guys take hold gotten these orders straight from God which is why they're parts of cultural traditions that everyone has to respect.
And now, let's demonstrate them how to close their mouths
The in conclusion role of the trial was really epic. After a collaboration of the participants, a large flipchart was created which accumulates proposals for the methodology how to terminate the intend – they intend inconvenient – opinions on the Internet. By trolling, mocking, reporting of messages, blocking of profiles, threats of removal from lists of friends – the latter is applied when a sinner from your surroundings fails to alter his or her xenophobic sentiment inwards time. Or past times infiltration of an trial as well as systematic confusion of the participants. For example, past times the posting of constantly changing dates as well as places of demonstrations, Mr Valůch mentions some exceptional applications of this tactics from the past. I am protesting past times proverb that "when someone abuses some other person's ignorance or gullibility to accomplish an undeserved personal benefit" is at to the lowest degree partly committing a fraud inwards the legal sense but I tin only hear a few poisoned sighs. Another solution is to post kittens. To those who can't halt as well as maintain on offering arguments. And ignore the complaints past times the public, e.g. those on the HateFree's Facebook profile, who say that this is non how 1 should debate against his foes. The ground is that it's non right to beak over amongst Nazis at all. Also, some other path to victory is through DDoS attacks, similar inwards the recent removal of the xenophobic server vyfot-imigranta.cz (take a image demonstrate of your immigrant). By reporting as well as writing of criminal complaints. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 nearby immature lady sadly tells others that she's been reporting the White Media pages several times but so far she hasn't succeeded because they told her that the server is inwards America. Mr Valůch calms her down, however, past times proverb that the province of affairs volition improve soon. In the wake of the Charlottesville storms, the law has already been breached as well as the white supremacist websites were knocked downwards past times verdicts of courts.
Trolling as well as dozens of other methods to deal the "haters"
Then we're getting to FTV Prima, a commercial TV station. This station has tried to manipulate as well as influence its ain journalists, nosotros hear. The employees were pressured to inform nearly the migration crisis fifty-fifty if it could Pb to negative impressions. Fortunately, the Council for TV as well as Radio Broadcasts has already started to beak over this thing as well as volition brand certain that null similar that volition live repeated. I don't take hold courage to enquire whether employees inwards other media are beingness pressured every bit well. The debate ultimately turns to IVČRN, the We Don't Want Islam inwards Czech Republic organization. People concur that this grouping is still influential as well as powerful as well as controlled past times really active people. Students as well as schoolkids are no longer recommended to troll on the IVČRN pages – that arrangement is dangerous, nosotros hear, as well as it could bring out out your existent identity. Moreover, it's no longer necessary to run this adventure because Facebook itself is solving this problem. It's plenty to study reincarnations of the IVČRN page. Facebook is instructed to react immediately. The master grouping had over 150,000 people which is a huge influence, at the Czech scale. The replacement page only had weaker 80,000, as well as so on. Because of this systematic approach, a twain of oscillations were plenty to completely eradicate the group.
It works. The in conclusion solution of the "islamophobic problem" as well as of the legitimate opinions of 150,000 people, I want to say, Joseph Goebbels would live happy. But I surrendered so I maintain myself silent. Jaroslav also warns that the Facebook-like activity may live moved to the Russian server VKontaktě where they still don't take hold all the required tools as well as they won't take hold them for some time. That could live unsafe inwards the future. The Social Baker colleague wonders why the hejtrs are allowed to write contributions from mistaken profiles at all. I tell him that it could live because the existent accounts are beingness suspended past times Facebook because some other users are reporting them. They don't want to lose their FB friends, photos, as well as data, which is why they're doing the inconvenient things anonymously. The Social Baker guy looks puzzled as well as he answers nothing.
They won't transportation criminal complaints so far, we're told. In fact, the biggest haters weren't affected past times them likewise much, anyway. And the smaller haters must take hold already been warned past times several exemplary trials. So I mentioned aforementioned Ms Zuzana Ouhrabková as well as her search for volunteers to assist the InIustitia NGO which is just working on masses of criminal complaints right now. But those things are OK, I am told. I maintain on arguing: "Isn't this sending of the criminal complaints, because of banal messages on the Internet, to a greater extent than than just the criminalization of upset citizens? Isn't it also paralyzing police? The constabulary is literally drowning inwards nonsensical agenda already now. If it volition take hold to solve these things, volition it take hold whatever fourth dimension left for genuine crimes?" They respond that these things would live done past times a new, specialized department, of course. And novel people would live hired. So it's in all probability superb, the job volition locomote up. But it feels chilling. Do they read Orwell's volume every bit an instruction guide?
And how did everything end?
Ms teacher-Inquisitor stood inwards front end of the flipchart as well as chastised me inwards front end of everybody for the in conclusion time. I am just impolitely interrupting them all the time, I can't allow them goal their monologues, as well as so on. But at the end, she's happy that someone similar that participated. At to the lowest degree everyone could view how the intend argumentation looks similar as well as how it should live faced. I respond past times proverb that I want a give-and-take as well as non just some superficial labeling. And I enquire her whether the possibility of an opened upwards debate is such a large job for her. She doesn't respond that interrogation anymore, she just sizzles as well as measures me past times her look. I add together that this understanding of a "fight" against hatred is basically a collection of the tools of foul play inwards argumentation as well as activities on the border of the Internet lynch. And the border of the law itself. And I enquire whether it's right to prosecute someone's seem which isn't illegal (so far, give thank you lot God) past times illegal demeanour as well as lynching activities. I am told that nosotros won't solve this thing. And the trial is approaching the end.
We say good-bye to each other, Ms Urbanová chop-chop leaves for some other place, but to my surprise, she thank you lot me in 1 trial again inwards front end of everyone, for my participation, using my name. Did she experience some conscience? Or was she blackmailing me that she would recall me? Will she live collecting information nearly me? I shook the manus of Mr Jaroslav Valůch, I appreciate that he wasn't trying to preclude a give-and-take as well as he was trying to debate at to the lowest degree a petty bit. I also debate the adult woman who wanted censorship. She wants a meliorate world, 1 that is directive as well as pre-planned inwards some way. And that's why she wouldn't pay whatever attending to my opinions at all. I deliberately take just the negative as well as problematic things as well as she doesn't honor such people every bit a affair of principle. I object: "I just wanted these things to live voiced inwards the discussion. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 counter-opinion. The negative things are those that volition conduct upon us most intensely inwards the future, aren't they? The graphic symbol of the country, every bit you lot tin view inwards France, was affected past times several Muslims amongst rifles. The peaceful bulk was irrelevant, except for providing the minority amongst some foundations, so is it peaceful at..." She interrupts me. No! This isn't discussion, she won't hear to such things.
