Pakistani gov degrades Wikipedia connections due to blasphemy
Previously there was a comment that was quite elucidative made by an HN user here: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34304824" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34304824</a><p>In recent years I've come around to viewing the American ideal of absolute "free speech" as not being all that nuanced, particularly because we know know the speed at which viral false and illegitimate claims travel and the slower speed at which reasoned responses to those speech travel.<p>I think we can all agree that artistic depictions of Mohammad, even if they fall squarely under free speech, are something that are of <i>poor taste</i> because they trigger the sensibilities of a large chunk of people that abide to certain customs and norms. The hope here is that these folks come around to their viewpoints and say "<i>sigh</i>, I don't like what you're doing, but I'm just going to turn away". The debate is front and center, let's see how it evolves.
