- The battle for free speech is heating up, with governments cracking down on what people can say.
In Scotland, new hate crime laws have sparked a fierce debate around free speech.
Famed author JK Rowling has spoken out against these laws, and even dared Scottish police to arrest her.
People across the world are concerned these types of laws will limit freedom of speech.
Sky News Digital Originals explores the threat to free speech, and how these laws could become more common around the world.
.'In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.'
George Orwell -
What an interesting quote .Tks for sharing .Does it come from 1984 because the scenario in that book is being played out more and more in our own time .
Oh yes
weird because i was banned from a religious group on facebook ....mention about that one too as they dont want to talk

J K Rowling should be given Scotland's biggest honor, plus UK's highest Royal affirmation.
Queen of Scotland.
Ironically when I want to reply to you that I agree she's queen and she desvers this it only gave me the option to report 😂
@@edricawebb1578Don't forget what happened to Mary Queen of Scots.
JK Rowling has created a lot of the fuss herself.
@alicemilne1444 way to point out the obvious of course she has because she see what's happing is wrong
JK Rowling THE Woman!
Its made up problem by PM of Scotland in my opinion, but wait for what happen to people critic Islam.
The answer to the question “what is a woman?” is found! It’s JK Rowling
He's not the prime minister he's the first minister and the British government is his boss. He thinks he's a world leader but he is unelected by the public and only got the post by a small margin win for the parties leadership @@HGG381
How dare you mention what everyone obviously can see!
Created an amazing fantasy world for our childhood and is an excellent role model for us as adults.
Rowling is a hero
Shero
And also richer with a much better legal team than Scotland 😅🤣
She is a huge reason we are in this position to begin with.
@@G2Bryce don't be ridiculous obviously you don't understand what is going on in the UK and it has nothing to do with her
@@amandarichardson9836 Dude she was the one pushing for the LGBTQ+ nonsense originally. She only got mad when it started to change the definition of women and she saw the horrible outcomes.
Arrested for what we say?
Just like that, Scotland became Mao’s China.
This is happening all over the West in mainly white majority Countries. Here in Canada were told we have no culture etc. This is what diversity has done to our countries.
China have hate speech law since 1950
god created everything even the criminals , god is a criminal , the way the law of universe function is criminality which mean there is no way god to even be peaceful it imposible, the way universe function is viollence and viollence is natural in the universe , so no the god cannot help you

3 cheers for free speech.
Non white countries have never had free speech - they didn't fight for it or want it and even emigrate to countries that have it and fight against it - what does that tell you?
We stand with J.K. Rowling
😂😂😂😂😂
We?!😂😂😂😂😂
@@strausskrauss well maybe not you. but me and many others. protect free speech.
How can the SNP shout about freedom for Scotland, all they have done is take away Scottish people's freedom
Yep😂
How ridiculous that the creator of Harry Potter wasn't invite to the reunion. Some of those people would never be famous without her. I'm with JKR trans women are biological men and always will be.
They are cowards! The actors have all backed away from the WOMAN that gave them their fame as they are wimps and cowards who stand behind the trans FAD instead of the woman who gave them everything.
100% agree.
As J.K. Rowling said herself: 'Women having for year been fighting for equal rights as men. To be recognized for all the hard work they've done and how hard they train for certain events. To have all that taken away by some guy who "claims" to be a woman trapped in a man body. Just because a man had the surgery to look like a woman still doesn't make him a her. He can't have a period like real women. He can't have babies like a real woman.'
What I have to say:
What about women who are trying to get away from an abusive relationship. The woman heads to a woman only shelter because she doesn't want family/friends involved. The shelter is useless when her husband/boyfriend shows up dressed as a woman.
We've got a revolving door in our prisons. A repeat rapist can get out and go to a shopping mall. He can then go into a Women's Washroom and security can't do ANYTHING! In fear of being sued.
Teacher's are gonna soon quit their jobs. A teacher used the wrong pronouns talking to a student and the teacher got fired.
The same people she made multi millionaires
It boils down to what you mean by man. If you mean "adult human male" then sure, trans women are biological men.
But in my eyes and many others, being a man is more than being an "adult human male". It has social expectations and norms attached that are not for everyone. We see terms like "manchild", "sissy", and "bitch" used to basically suggest someone isn't a "real man". When we have language like that I think it suggests people have to DO certain things to "qualify" as a man/woman.
Personally I see trans women as women, and trans men as men. I use their preferred pronouns without thinking when I interact with them and I don't view them as any less. Having said that, I see trans women as MALE, and I see trans men as FEMALE. That is their biological SEX, which is defined by their karyotype at the point of conception and cannot be changed.
I think I am showing respect to the science, showing respect to trans people, and showing respect to the language used in everyday life with this approach.

Apparently many have reported Hamas Useless for his "White. White, White" rant.
He's now calling everyone far right now way to go I will insult them more
Thousands but the police say there is no case to answer.... because it's against whites?
If he’d been white and had ranted ‘Black, Black, Black’ you can bet your bottom dollar that he’d be in Court, if not in prison by now.
I have
@MrBerry67 I am sure you feel very proud of yourself for cluttering up police reporting channels with a vexatious complaint that will not be followed up because Yousaf's speech took place in 2020 before this law became effective and would not be considered a hate crime under the law anyway.
Where has everyone's sense of proportion gone? People seem to be getting outraged at the slightest thing. Calm down everybody.
Useless does not care about Scotland… this is a back door blasphemy issue for religious end game! Duh!
Exactly!
Well done JK its our country SCOTLAND in my opinion Yusaff is RACIST. and I have complained.
Lodge mass complaints against the politicians that introduced this law - watch the law get reversed
Lets see. I mean its based on wokeness. They will stand their ground like trench warfare.
@@AkagiZillo15Yep. Twins in apartment building who are woke. Everything is harassment of them, while they blatantly break laws, treat other occupants like ...The police would wonder if they should be committed if they complained about their "harassment".
Oh yeah. The Americans won their independence by lodging mass complaints.
Fuck me. You gave up your guns. Good luck 👍🏻
@@zebatov you missed the point badly. Point being if you have a terrible systems overload it until it breaks.
Point about the guns acknowledged however ☝️
@@zebatov You don't think Americans have given up their guns? Just because a lot of you still have them does not mean very many will actually use them. Half will turn them over the second they are told too. Another 3/4 will be killed as the police go door to door and demand they are turned over. That will leave about 25% of you to fight against a fully armed and rabid government! Dont forget even the IRS is armed now and has FULL police powers! As do the fish and game, BLM, Dpt of Sanitation, Animal Control... ANY Government entity now has policing powers according to the "Patriots Act".....
Scottish people should not allow this guy to run their country.
He was elected by his constituents and he won the election to be leader of the party that is in government. It is a democratic process.
What Scotland should or should not do is not up to you.
Proud to say I've reported Humza twice now, once for his anti-white speech and once for calling anyone who reported him for that Far Right. It's very easy. Online form. Totally anonymous. I'm hovering, waiting for my next report. 😁
I've done the same - useless is a racist
Gotta protect the youth from hurtful speech so that Brave New World Order can turn them against their parents.
NO. Absolute Free Speech is essential for all freedoms.
@@buildmotosykletist1987 you’re a bot aren’t you?
Why is this even a fight? The right to free speech should be a given for every single human being.
Given by whom ?
@@goosecouple Its inalienable. By virtue of being human.
@@goosecouple Exactly, they have no right to bestow rights that are inherent to every being in the universe. The Illuminati breed of politicians is playing God. To be more exact, they acting for Lucifer.
It's NOT A FIGHT! IT'S A CONQUEST! WHY? BECAUSE NONE OF YOU ARE FIGHTING BACK! ALL YOU DO IS YAK YAK YAK!!! You're going to talk the entire planet straight into Sharia law!
@@goosecouple What do you want me to say? God? I don't know. It's not as though it's "given" to you the way you're thinking, it's a right you are born with if you're born human. You seem like you advocate for censoring speech. Which, is all fun and games until you realize one day you're going to be on the side that's being censored. This is exactly what happened to every single society that censored people. Eventually YOU will be the one told to say 1+1=3 and to shut up lest you want to be prosecuted.
It’ll be really easy for them to discriminate who they arrest. They’ll just look at your posting and voting history.
Distracted, deceived and divided.
They have still achieved some of these control methods.
I work in heathcare, was assessing a young person who was transgender, who had come in with abdominal pain. This person was truly quite androgenous, I really couldn't work out if I was dealing with a biological man or a woman.
As it was medically relevent, I asked "What was your assigned sex at birth"
Well. For the response I got, you'd think that I'd just walked into a synagogue and made a holocaust joke.
Instantly aggressive, instantly giving me "how dare you"s. I explained that it was highly relevant, given that this person had come in with lower abdominal pain.
An hour later, I was discharging this person who was clearly having menstrual cramps, but refusing to acknowledge the very normal bodily function that was taking place, as it no longer suited their social self-image. Waste of everybody's time
@C21MarxistYOU ARE IGNORANT
@C21Marxist this sad story shows the person has serious mental health problems
And you are encouraging this mental health issues

@@TimArcher-zl9sb You answered twice - I know you are.
They brought back Blasphemy Laws.
Of course they have , Humza is a rampant Islamist
Blasphemy is actually the law that has just been abolished. 😂😂😂😂
@@alicemilne1444 You are right! the new religion of Woke has created more laws. And on the cycle goes!
What was the religion of the person who speakheaded this disgusting law? Should tell you everything that's wrong with them.
Islamic jihadist
There's a General Election coming folks. We can let the SNP know what we think of this law at the Ballot Box. If is the future of an independent Scotland that of a dictatorship?
Abolish this law as quickly as possible Scots please!
You think Labour Scotland will repeal this law ????? Awww bless your sweet naivity
I wish you had a plausible party to vote for instead, I'm English and the Labour or Tory party stand for neither of us either - perhaps we ought to start a ScotBrit party. The welsh can join in also if they stop hating the English, more Welsh live and work in England than the other way around.
Harry Potter had an immense impact on the minds of children and therefore society, but as someone who understands the importance of free speech against the backdrop of tyranny, I think the history books will come to see her as the more important character
I doubt it. She has been largely responsible for creating a lot of this division and strife herself and takes herself far too seriously.
People bandy the word "tyranny" about without having the faintest idea what it is like to actually live in a tyranny or a police state.
Believing in absolute freedom of speech is a very juvenile thing.
The act seeks to fortify protections against hate crimes. I’ve never witnessed a hate crime in my life. But almost daily I witness problems and aggression coming from ‘certain groups’ of people. Never the other way around. What about protecting us?
You are the target if you are white and/or Christian.
Who would have ever thought JKR writings would empower her in these times of deceit to stand against destructive draconian hate crime laws. May God bless her protect her guide her give her strength to protect our freedom of Speech globally. That we as Nations get behind her.
Please get Sall Grover from Giggle on!!!!! She is fighting for Australian women's rights and no one in Australia is giving her coverage
If that was the case "the view" ladies would be in jail every single day.
Children reporting their parents is straight out of George Orwell's 1984
Chinese Cultural Revelution. It happened in real life.

Not only is this law unworkable but it could be argued that it is in itself a "hate crime"
It has been done many times before - "I am the voice of god, but if you claim to speak for god you are a blasphemer" - quotes all religeons.
Humza is full of hate thats why he is putting all these laws
How did the bill get passed?
One silly numpty with sheep that followed him.
@@rhonahall2807 specifically, numpties who want to appear viirtuous - these fools are easy pawns who merely want attention for the moment
Humza Useless came up with this law when he was justice minister, misleading colleagues as to the content to get it through now.
All of the political parties except for the conservatives, voted for it. Appalling.
The self elected imigrant pm passed this law
i'm sorry but why would you interview Oli London. I thought this was serious news.
I have huge respect for JK Rowling. 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

Absolute Free Speech. NO hate speech laws are required.
FREE SPEECH ❣️❣️🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸
Freedom of speech but not freedom of reach.
I seem to recall that the word 'hate' means to dislike something intensely. So it's now illegal to dislike something intensely? What is this world coming to?
There must be something you can do
I admire and respect J K Rowling more than I can say. What can we all do to support her? What can we do to support women's rights in all countries? In the US, one of the most useful things you can do is write to your representative politicians and state your opinion. And the issue of how crimes are reported as by males or females is enormously important.
Shouldn't you support mens rights also - bigot.
Are you making your audio less loud on purpose, or just set it by some automation that has default setting of -20db? , great content but goddamn its silent.

I have lodged my complaint against Useless. As for JK Rowling - I salute you
Thank you for standing up for free speech!
Whai I say at my OWN GODDAMN DINNER TABLE is my GODDAMN BUSINESS!
I love Ms. Rowling and a disgusted with how shes been attacked.
Don't worry she's got millions and will survive - the rest of us?
Pretending thing are not as they and punishing people who don't go along with it is a fundamental sort of evil a crime against reality.
Esther sums it up in 20 seconds 😂
Again, all of these MSM media talking heads ignore the arguably more sinister part of this hate crime law - religion. Is it cowardice? Not being able to criticise religion because of the threat of a wet blanket submitting an annonymous hate crime complaint is grotesque.
Thank you JK Rowling you are AMAZING 🤩 😍👏👏👏
someday we'll be arrested for telling Flat Earthers that the world is not flat.

I fully support her 👏 As women, many of us are exhausted from these absurd multi-gender concepts from the far left. If one chooses to "identify" a certain way in their personal life, fine, but they can't expect everyone in society to play along.
Avada Kedavra to Scotland's hate crime law.
My opinion not fact on this new Scottish law is that it will get so overwhelmed that they will use a ai and adjust its algerrivum to let off Muslim and Wok then the adjusted algerrivum will be leaked.😂

What about people with Tourette's syndrome who (like me on occassions) can't control the things that come out of their mouth? Is being unable to control a biological syndrome now a crime? Can I wear a shirt with a warning and a disclaimer to avoid being arrested?

I was told that some football supporters in Italy invite the referee to “come and fish with us, we need the worm”. Scottish should do the same with their first minister.
The traitor in Scotland also said recently that anyone who disagrees with this new law is “Far Right“.
