and in my random image search I come across an image that makes me curious of what it has to do with the term I put in.

When I click it I go to a site that has some rather angr and disturbing images...nothing graphic just very racial in its motivation. So I think maybe I just didn't get the context so I type in the main address of the site and realize I was correct to begin with in my assumption.

It was most definitley a hate site.

So the question I have is why do these sites exist on the web? Isn't there some governing body that removes these types of sites from the web?

 

free speech man... it's not illegal to be a hater. not that i think it's cool.

 

freedom of speech/press?

 

exactly. who's to say who can put what on the internet. you can't govern it.

 

Well I just thought there was a governing group or something.

Whatever it doesn't really matter I guess it was just a question.

 

Freedom of speech.

 

Yes, freedom of speech is a good and bad thing. It's good because you have the right to say whatever you want ... and it's bad because people will hate you because of it ... you should know Mr. On-Topic moderator :chuckles:

 

I realize gfreedom of speech and how it works but one thing I am curious about is that the internet is not solely governed by American laws or constitutional guidelines since not everyone who uses the internet is within its borders or bound by its laws.

This being the case you would think that individual groups, organizations, and even some country backing to remove these things from the web would be in place.

So quit screaming free speech already damn how redundant do we really have to be?

 

link? h:

 

"Hate speech" is not protected under the first amendment. What exactly "hate speech" is, is kind of ambiguous.
