Isn't that the US free speech ideal? Didn't the ACLU use to defend the right of KKK members to hold rallies for exactly this ideal?

Facebook is a private communication party.... they can be screaming their lungs out on the streets, if their goverments allow it.

I didn't talk about the law, but the ideal.

No, compelling a company to host speech it doesn't agree with is not the free speech ideal.

let me understand this right holding rallies / calling violence are synonyms to one another all comes under free speech ?

What do you think the KKK would do at those rallies? Share cookies?

Even in the US with its exceptional.free speech laws, calls for violence or.murder are outlawed.

The ACLU was stupid for defending the KKK and I'm glad they've wised up.

> I don't see how

Assuming you intend to see, you can see how if you read the article and its linked articles.

I'm only referring to the specific case of the members of the ruling party allegedly making calls for violence. There is nothing in the article that says these were made on Facebook.

From the articles:

"religious violence fomented in India across Meta’s platforms.”

"Facebook allowed a Hindu nationalist conspiracy theory to flourish on its platform"

"One video of an extremist preacher calling for Hindus to rise up and kill Muslims racked up 1.4 million views but was not deleted"

"Facebook banned a Hindu extremist group under its terrorism policies—but left most of its pages online for months after that ban, allowing them to share content"

"In Facebook posts and public appearances, Indian politician T. Raja Singh has said Rohingya Muslim immigrants should be shot, called Muslims traitors and threatened to raze mosques. [FB employees] concluded Mr. Singh not only had violated the company’s hate-speech rules "

"The company’s top public-policy executive in the country, Ankhi Das, opposed applying the hate-speech rules to Mr. Singh and at least three other Hindu nationalist individuals and groups flagged internally for promoting or participating in violence, said the current and former employees."

"team took no action after BJP politicians posted content accusing Muslims of intentionally spreading the coronavirus, plotting against the nation and waging a “love jihad” campaign by seeking to marry Hindu women"

"He has used Facebook, where his own page and those dedicated to him have more than 400,000 followers, to say that Muslims who kill cows—animals revered by Hindus—should be slaughtered like them."

"Another BJP legislator, a member of Parliament named Anantkumar Hegde, has posted essays and cartoons to his Facebook page alleging that Muslims are spreading Covid-19 in the country in a conspiracy to wage “Corona Jihad.”"

"Within hours of the videotaped message, which Mr. Mishra uploaded to Facebook, rioting broke out that left dozens of people dead. Most of the victims were Muslims, and some of their killings were organized via Facebook’s WhatsApp, according to court documents filed by police and published in Indian newspapers."
