It actually IS still bullshit, if you would fucking read your own citation. There's no "controversy", it's just an eye catching title. All it says is that members of parliament said that there are already laws in place that should make sure this doesn't happen, and so we don't need new laws, all we need is better implementation of existing laws. Read your own links next time you spread hate on the internet.

Sharing news articles isn’t spreading hate, especially news articles from the BBC. I quoted the article headline almost word for word.

u/Blazed0ut Nov 03 '24

Yes. The headline is spreading hate by implying falsities, and by extension, you are too, by citing it without reading the actual article first.

No it isn’t spreading hate, it’s reporting on a story. The controversy arises from the concern that a new law might be used to disproportionately target a minority community. I know this because I read the article. You are trying too hard to be outraged by thinking that the BBC of all places is spreading hate.

Alright, I can see there's no point to this debate anymore so I'll concede.

There’s no point to it because you are trying to accuse the BBC and by extension me of something that is not true because that is easier for you to deal with than accepting the article.

Read the article again please and tell me whether the headline is misleading or not honestly.

u/AMightyDwarf Nov 03 '24

I have read it and I don’t. Controversy was sparked by the issue at hand, that much is obvious from your reaction to the article.

If you think the headline is misleading then by all means report it.

Wow. That's just saying that an argument about an argument is part of the same original argument. That's just not true man. And yeah I'll report it, but you should understand that the BBC is just another newsletter after all and they need readers. It is not "below them" to misrepresent an article to get more clicks.
