Britain Now Censoring 'Homophobic' And 'Transphobic' Social Media
Without defining what constitutes an actual "hate crime" online, which could range from something as volatile as writing vulgar messages on someone's Facebook wall or as frivolous as sharing an article about the psychological dangers of transgenderism, Saunders vows that the CPS "commits to treat online hate crimes as seriously as those committed face to face."
The CPS defines a hate crime as follows: "any criminal offense which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice."
Key word in that definition is "perceived," and in the age of microagressions and trigger-warnings, people trained to get offended by just about anything can "perceive" that so much as calling someone "sweetheart" constitutes sexual harassment. Just ask Ashley Judd.
