Sexual Abuse, The Law & Censorship
Criticism can be applied to anything. However, it’s how you do it that matters. In this particular case, it can be extremely tricky.
While I’m fully aware that there are a lot of malicious people who’ll do anything to destroy the lives of people they don’t like, if you do it to someone who could actually be a victim of sexual abuse to the point of harassment & bullying, you’d be a victim blamer by definition.
Now, how does this apply to censorship? Well, that’s if you’re the one who’s being accused & the victim. If you’re first way of responding to sexual abuse allegations is threatening legal action, people have a right to treat you with suspicion.
As mentioned previously, I’m aware that there are a lot of malicious people who’ll do anything to destroy the lives of people they don’t like, but if you’re not willing to immediately tell your side, provide evidence that can’t be easily debunked or have credible witnesses, you’re not only trying to hide the truth by abusing the power of the law, you’re also preventing the victims to exercise their right to freedom of speech.
