Is it ethically correct to close down threads when we preach freedom of speech? Is it not hypocrisy?

  • Freedom of speech ke sath sath duty bhi hoti tumhari to maintain decency in communication and not to create chaos by inciting others by abusing.

  • Just see how violent you have become. Who would be responsible if you burst an artery? That's why we close down inflammatory threads. We're trying to balance your right to life, your freedom of speech and other people's rights to not have to take your bullshit.

    You're welcome. :)
    no sir, you are being judge here.. you are just a moderator sir.. i think you have crossed your boundaries sir... this hush hush will only denigrate forus ias sir and people will only do cutoff prediction and sublime bakar here sir... thats is what bullshit sir.

  • Moderators have taken a side. They have lost their neutrality. Now further bans will only expose their true colours.

    Paye lagu auntieji... ;)
  • I think time to time mods forget that they are just members with some responsiblity. Just members. But they start behaving as if they hv become VVIPs. They will abuse but they dont ban themselves.
    Achi khasi debate chal rahi thi mostly in civil manners. Even if nyone ws using bad language ( i did nt notice dat) then he shud hv been banned. Instead thread close kar diya...curtailing freedom of expression of innocent members like me :)
    PS- mod open the thread. We were trying to discuss solutions. Dont u want solns ??

    Families sundered by a wave of detentions. Mosques barred from broadcasting the call to prayer. Restrictions on the movements of labourers that have wreaked havoc on local agriculture. And a battery of ever more intrusive ways to monitor the communications of citizens for possible threats to public security.

    A recent 10-day journey across the Xinjiang region in the far west of China revealed a society seething with anger and trepidation as the government, alarmed by a slow-boil insurgency that has claimed hundreds of lives, has introduced unprecedented measures aimed at shaping the behaviour and beliefs of China’s 10 million Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking Muslim minority that considers this region its homeland.

    Driving these policies is the government’s view that tougher security and tighter restraints on the practice of Islam are the best way to stem a wave of violence that included a knife attack at a coal mine that killed dozens of people in September.

    The tough security measures are on full view for travellers as they stop at the ubiquitous highway checkpoints that slow movement across this rugged expanse of deserts and snowy peaks.

    Intrusive search

    As heavily armed soldiers rummage through car trunks and examine ID cards, ethnic Uighur motorists and their passengers are sometimes asked to hand over their cell phones so police can search them for content or software deemed a threat to public security.

    In addition to jihadist videos, the police are on the lookout for Skype and WhatsApp, apps popular with those who communicate with friends and relatives outside China, and for software that allows users to access blocked websites. “All of us have become terror suspects,” said a 23-year-old Uighur engineering student who said he was detained overnight in November after the police found messages he had exchanged with a friend in Turkey. “These days, even receiving phone calls from overseas is enough to warrant a visit from state security.”

    Here in Kashgar, the fabled Silk Road outpost near China’s border within Pakistan and Afghanistan, officials have banned mosques from broadcasting the call to prayer, forcing muezzins to shout out the invocation five times a day from rooftops across the city.

    The new rule is an addition to longstanding policies that prohibit after-school religious classes and children under 18 from entering mosques. (The installation of video cameras on mosque doorways in recent months makes such rules hard to ignore.)

    Southeast of Kashgar, shopkeepers in the city of Hotan seethed over a government decision to outlaw two dozen names considered too Muslim, forcing parents to rename their children or be unable to register them for school, according to local residents and the police.

    ‘Strike-hard operation’

    After 43 people were killed in a pair of attacks in the regional capital, Urumqi, in 2014, Beijing began a “strike hard special operation” that it says has dismantled nearly 200 terrorist groups and resulted in the execution at least 49 people. The state news media describes those caught in the crackdown as terrorism suspects or separatists seeking an independent Xinjiang, and blames recurring violence in the region on jihadist influenced or directed by agents overseas. — New York Times News Service




    On a side note @HammadRashid bhai what do you think will these policies succeed? What will be there outcome in long term?
  • @mod votebank politics waale hain
  • inn mods ko ek baar guardian ke comments section pe jaana chahie....

    i m srry but u r nt the right person to decide what can incite violence and what is meaningful...

    your duty ends at banning the abusers only..
