So, no pictures exposing torture or genocide. Got it.

...no. Did you see the articles about the death of that French streamer? It's about that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trash_stream

It's the modern version of bum fights.

I wonder what makes this such a Slav thing

these are absolutely unreal. causing your girlfriend to die of hypothermia and then bringing her dead body back indoors to stream next to her corpse goes worlds beyond what i'd guessed a "trash stream" would be, holy shit 😦

yeah, i think i'm okay with this being banned 😓

I was thinking Jackass but bum fights is probably more accurate. God humanity is bleak sometimes.

It isn't, the first case I thought of happened in France, it's linked in the last paragraph of the article.

I don't know whether the law is written broadly enough to do that.

There are of course free speech concerns here, but if the law only targets cases where violence or other criminal activity was engaged in specifically to film it, even I don't see that this contradicts my broad understanding of free speech rights.

Well at least you understood the comment.

2023 is really late. Source from Polish Wikipedia links to 2018 article (in Polish, not a hugely credible website) https://www.eska.pl/news/patostreamy-co-to-jest-wulgarne-tresci-ponizanie-i-glupota-na-youtube-aa-9c9d-5JRV-qhZz.html

Similarly English Wikipedia points to Russia in 2010. Unless you mean first prosecutions rather than first streams

I meant the first case that came to my mind, it's of course possible there were some before, I simply didn't know about them.

the terms from other countries seem much better, "pathostream" (which i'd translate to "psychostream" to get the message across) or "rotstream".

Only five years? If you're the fuck lighting that cat on fire in the first photo then you should literally be burned alive at a minimum.

If you commit more than one crime at once I assume they will be dealt with accordingly.

My faith in any Central European justice system punishing animal cruelty is minimal.

Why?

So the 6 o'clock news is finished.

I saw Spree (2020, Joe Keery) a while back. I didn't realize this was a trend. Absolutely horrible.

your comment would be received a lot better if it said "Does this apply to pictures exposing torture or genocide?". you're very confidently claiming it does this thing, and so you got downvoted because it's not true.

If you make a lesser crime have a high sentence, you push people to commit the higher crime instead.

I guess we disagree that lighting living beings on fire for fun is a lesser crime 🤷‍♂️

Lesser than attempted murder, yes

My understanding is that in Poland cases of torturing animals to death for fun generally only amount to less than five year sentences, with even outliers being something like 7 years. I'm certainly not an expert though, if that's incorrect please do let me know.

Fair enough, I wouldn't consider successfully torturing a cat to death as being less than attempting to kill someone, but if we don't agree on that point than we aren't going to come to an understanding here. I guess I fundamentally disagree with the argument that we should incentivize psycopathic murderers to torture animals to death for fun (by having inconsequential sentences for torturing an animal to death) rather than, you know, kill them because they clearly don't have any place in the world.

Making a less serious crime come with a less serious punishment doesn't incentivize the crime. It deincentivizes the more serious crime.

Right, by making it more appealing to just stick with the lesser crime

I realize. Even if it came across as not being able to post snuff, one would think that would be a good thing, but my stars, the level of inability to consider different possibilities or inquire says as much. So I left it. It shows that if the messenger has delivered messages not officially approved by the bandwagon before will automatically be taken in the worst return later.

And that's not even touching on bandwagon fallacy.

You made shit up and got downvotes for being full of shit nothing more.
