    Was it removed? He's giving out about being blocked from facebook and I don't see any doxing on the page. Some right lunatics though. One of them is convinced the Gardaí did the Regency shooting as a false flag.

    I'd love to tell him that I've reported him a couple of times for stuff he's said on Facebook and FB said there was nothing wrong with his comments!! He's a great man for posting people's addresses, it'll be interesting to see what'll happen if people actually start protesting outside homes.

    It was "Loose" Cannon who made up the rubbish about the false flag, he's an awful eejit. He is always saying that most of the attrocities in the north were insider jobs as well.

    It does seem a bit suspicious that Facebook have removed his posts, on what is presumably his personal page? Suppression of speech is rarely a good thing. Facebook is a private company so they are not obliged to give him a platform but you would have to wonder why they removed his posts, and on whose orders/request.

    His posts that were taken down were visible to any Facebook member, they were abusive and libellous. If I posted abusive and untruthful posts about you on my Facebook page I doubt you would be very pleased...

    You say abusive and libellous. Facebook user says strongly worded and truthful.

    I suppose it depends if you had reason or provocation to. Though generally, no, I wouldn't be pleased. But is being displeased reason enough for facebook to remove content?

    What is the intent behind posting someones private address? Even if it is in the phone book, why post it on a Facebook page?
    It's, without doubt, suggesting that someone should pay the house a "visit".

    Dangerous ground.

    The intent? I wouldn't know. I can't read minds.

    There is no law against visiting an address.

    Dangerous ground? Depends. Is protecting the address of a person from being posted on a facebook page more important than protections to freedom of speech? I would argue no.

    Nobody has a absolute right to free speech, it has to be balanced with other rights and obligations. If somebody calls me a thief or a fraudster on Facebook I will be perfectly entitled to demand it be taken down. There is a big difference between opinion and fact. If someone is convicted in Court of a crime I can point that out, but if it's just my opinion I have to prove it or suffer the consequences.

    No rights at all unless you're a "member of the judiciary" it seems.

    Sure.

    At the same time, we have to be careful of a situation whereby only facts can be published and not opinions as people might presume them to be facts. It's tricky territory.

    Blackening a person's name does not necessarily entail criticisng their performance in a professional capacity and as a public figure.

    Not really, it's pretty clear cut. When that Facebook poster claimed one person was a thief the post was taken down. When he claimed another was a fraudster likewise. If you're nasty enough to post like that you don't deserve to be treated any differently

    Calling one lawyer a thief and another "bent" and involved in "framing" innocent people is not criticising their performance it's blackening their names.

    If there is no lawful proof or evidence of the claims being true, then they are just an opinion. The problem of course is that the law is based on the preumption that people will view an opinion as fact, without checking if it is indeed a fact.

    Sure there is. Ask the two Gardai who were intent on 'blackening' Maurice McCabes name with their lies.

    Just like the last example (when one of you conveniently ignored the fact that a concealed recording of a meeting uncovered the above wrongdoing - and the relevance of that when you claim anyone who takes video in a courtroom should be arrested), you can go ahead and ignore this example too - as it doesn't fit in with your world view.

    A member of the judiciary shouldn't have their name blackened (you claim) but not a word when I referred to our two friends from AGS (aside from deflective nonsensical comments).

    The selective upholders of the law....

    If the Gardai were trying to blacken anyone's name they should be held accountable. Nobody would argue otherwise.

    If someone records a video in court they are in contempt and should be treated accordingly. Sometimes that's prison, sometimes that's a warning from the judge.

    None of those things are the issue here though. You're actually jumping past the issue here. Since Sporting Exchange v Mulvaney websites like Facebook etc take down posts that are defamatory per se because if they do not they open themselves to being held liable IF the statements are held to be defamatory by a court. The website is perfectly entitled to leave them up if they want. Similarly the website may remove them because they think the content is abusive or outside the scope of what they want on their website. That's not an abuse of freedom of speech.

    Freedom of speech is not the right to say whatever you want wherever you want. It is the right to say what you will without interference from the government by means of legal reprisal of a criminal or other nature. Giving a civil remedy to a defamed person does not trample on the freedom of expression nor does a website exercising its own freedom to not express a view by hosting the content infringe upon that right. Websites like Facebook are private companies and are entitled to choose what does and does not appear on their service.

    What law specifically is being broken? Have you explained that to AGS (as they regularly record in our courts)? You might also ask them why on occasion courts service cctv footage has been erased.
    Whether or not there is a law being broken, in the same way as McCabe felt the need to covertly record his meeting, plenty feel the need to record the shenanigans in our courts.
    I'm sure he was probably breaking AGS policy in some way or other. I call on him to be disciplined for that action. What's the chances...

    It's not a statutory offense. It's considered a contempt in the face of the court and is dealt with by means of the inherent jurisdiction of the court. AGS do not record within the precincts of any court but if they did they could not do so without express permission. If they did you should inform the court of same as it is a contempt just as it would be for anyone else.

    Congratulations on the sense of humour (GSOC). AS regards it being an 'activist' forum, I never suggested such a thing. Surely something that 'nobody would argue otherwise' about would not be in need of activism?

    As for you pointing out this is a discussion forum, thank you for that. You'll see that my comments link back to the 'discussion' of other posters here - namely the hypocrisy of demanding those that take video in a court be pursued with the full rigours of the law when the very same people go quiet when it applies closer to home (that by way of reference to our two friends in AGS).

    It's not a statutory offence. It's considered a contempt in the face of the court and is dealt with by means of the inherent jurisdiction of the court.

If they did you should inform the court of same as it is a contempt just as it would be for anyone else.
    I see. So people who are of a mind that our judiciary are trampling on individuals rights - and with that video proceedings. The only ones who can give permission to record are those they allege to be the wrongdoers - who it seems have on occasion given permission to one party to record (as I stated, AGS have recorded in our courts on occasion in recent times) but not those who find fault with them.
    We've also had courts where the public have been excluded from proceedings (and i'm not talking about family law cases) but I guess court rules and the law itself is a selective a-la-carte affair for those in a position of authority.

    Manning has split from them all, for reasons unknown.

    Doctor Not filed his papers to run in the last election, and displayed a remarkable lack of acumen by posing for a beaming smile photo with the registrar that II members had had prior run-ins with. These members took umbrage with this, chief among them being Il Doocey.
    Hilarity ensued upon all their facebook pages for a few days.

    Noticeable over the last week that a thaw seems to have set in, I suspect they'll be best buds again in a few months. If the various factions could pool their resources they could get over 300 votes next time.

    What love in? Who are you taking down? I'm not a member of An Garda Siochana, a member of the law industry, a member of the finance industry. However, I think that some of the regular posters we see on FB are deluded nobodies, people who will never achieve anything through hard work or talent and who feel that this form of "activism" is their best chance of finding fame and notierity. I mean, off the top of my head I can think of a man with a drug conviction and a man with a conviction for insurance fraud (if you google the names the headlines are easy to find)

    I had to laugh at the notion that this cabal think that they can achieve any sort of victory.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,586 ✭✭✭Canadel


    If someone has a criminal conviction that is a fact
    Likewise if someone does not have a criminal conviction and someone claims they have committed a crime, it's an opinion. Your posts seem to favour a public discourse where one canly only deal in facts.
