TIL Ernst Zündel, a neo-nazi from germany, came to Canada to publish books on holocaust denial.

He ended up fighting for his right to publish and it eventually went to the supreme court. This fight deemed "spreading fake news" unconstitutional in the existing criminal code.

So some neo-nazi from germany is the reason "spreading fake news" is not illegal in Canada. thanks I guess?

its uncomfortable that freedom includes stupid and even evil ideas or it isnt freedom. at least to me. but i prefer freedom

Free speech is for people you hate

Well most people only received one version from that story from the war winners. Any other version is highly censored and people get very annoyed and offended by any other possible story even if it's 0,5% different. That's why I love nostr, and I hope to see deep debates on very aspects of history.

Your assumptions are showing

What do you mean

You assume only holocaust denial information is fake news. All news is fake.

I assumed that? weird. sounds like something you just assumed I assumed.

I would not assume anything about the holocaust is true or fake.

We have another retard here folks, carry on
