Should the probable or actual outcome of such speech be part of the calculation?
In Connolly’s case, there is a strong likelihood that her Tweet significantly inflamed or maybe even created a violent situation. El-Fattah was just one voice amongst many, in a situation where violence was already widespread. Should that be seen as a lesser crime?

@KimSJ@mastodon.social @davidallengreen@mastodon.green the latter part of that sounds too much like “it’s ok because everyone is doing it” which shouldn’t be a defence .
