Chill on the "threats" Voat (Voat)

submitted ago by PuttItOut

There has been an increasing number of content that is bordering or crossing the lines concerning making "threats." So much so that we have been formally contacted regarding some content. We are better than this.

I'm not a lawyer, and you're not a lawyer, and it isn't Voat's place to defend illegal content. We don't have a staff to review content and don't have a team of lawyers dedicated to deciding what is and isn't lawful. I'm not also into endlessly debating what is and isn't legal as subjects like this often devolve into when everyone at the party is an "internet expert."

We have to deal with this issue and if content is in the grey area, we are going to remove it upon request. We also have to cooperate with law enforcement, I hope everyone fully understands that we are not attempting to operate outside of the law. Voat's purpose is to provide a collusion and censorship free place for discussion, not taking on a government.

It's easy to avoid this entire area: Word content maturely, avoid implicit and explicit language concerning the involvement of violence and the content won't be in question. Simple, so very simple.

After this post there will most likely be "users" testing this line and hoping we remove their content in order to claim censorship on Voat. This is just how things like this work. Don't fall for this Voat. It would be simply incredible if we just worked together on this instead of the typical shit storm posts like this usually generate.

As a reminder: Voat is for your personal, lawful use. See it here: https://voat.co/help/useragreement

That's all. Thanks for reading. Carry on.

Edit:

ProTip: I decided to post this before anything legal would prevent me from doing so. I have a feeling I know where this is going to lead.

I've also updated the canary to reflect this as well (this may be the last time that little guy gets an update, we will just have to wait and see).

A US agency?

Yes.

Fucking faggots...meanwhile Antifa gets run of every liberal city in the country while the nigs murder us daily...and we aren't even allowed to talk about clownworld.

I bet it's the effectiveness of Clownworld that really got them foaming and poking around.
It's the billion megaton nuke of political mockery. They thought they'd provoke actionable violent reprisals much sooner than this and we just blew out their already tight-as-a-noose timeline by embracing the Clown meme and weaponizing beyond their imaginations.

Already shut down the Library Trannies. 2020 is going to be a memetic bloodbath courtesy of the Honk becoming an extreme shorthand shut-down of any stupid dishonest nonsense coming out of ANY politician's face. Red noses painted or glued on political posters and billboards will be the quickest and most effective narrative-destroying graffiti in history.

You glowing idiots got so wrapped up in The Day of the Rope memes (which was just an illustration of how such political subversions often end for those that consider themselves revolutionaries throughout history - often even independent of who actually wins), that you never saw The Day of Honk coming.

We're gonna wreck you with a fucking silly sound effect. Some 99c cent app will be the end of your masters, and ultimately the end of you. And it was likely invented by some moron in a CIA coke pit think tank, believing that meme magic could be harnessed. You may wanna go thank him personally for setting fire to decades of careful civic manipulation and planning and blowing all your pensions and hidden deep state slush funds. Because sure as shit, someone else has their eyes on that money, and they can see you failing. And they'll literally cut your throats to take what's yours long before any real ground-level civil war shit kicks off and some civilian gets a chance to do it.

In a world where anything can be re-contextualized as "violent rhetoric" or "calls to violence" you thought we would be cornered into acting physically upon purpose-chosen targets (your obvious Soros Color Revolution wannabe martyrs like Goblina, Lanzahogg and that new little tween gremlin pushing Global Warming or whatever) so you could sweep us all away in one dark night with full public support and an iron clad legal papertrail. But now you'll be forced to go after dudes in clown wigs for making honking noises at whatever old establishment psychopath pedo or new central casting shoe-size IQ brainlet you put up for nomination in 2020.

You over-played your False Flags. FF is in the lingua franca now. Everyone's picking up on it. Notre Dame was too far. Sri Lanka and that whole "Easter Worshippers" thing was a monumental fuck up. All you had left was IRL street level violence breaking out to push the last phase of your plans, and you just...gave us this fantastic new memetic Atomic Death Ray when you needed us at our most mentally disarmed and demoralized.

You really are Clowns. Honk Honk, motherfuckers.

God damn, I couldn't have said it better.

It's so motherfucking blatant these days you don't even have to point it out.

You just have to attach a clown nose to it and HONK.
