2024-10-24 08:24:26 +02:00 | Lee | No I do not | All of the above | All speech should be free. Not just the speech the government LIkES. If you have a mind you should be able to speak it. Malema gets away with it every single time! But it’s already rules for thee but not for me with this government. | No I do not |

2024-10-11 19:51:05 +02:00 | Walt | Not fully | Other | Will this be enforced equally? Will it be not be classified as hate speech if, in the same sentance, the race is swapped? If the current landscape is anything to go by, it seems that "hate speech" directed at one race is accepted, and "hate speech" directed at the other is not. It seems the past is the only thing that we can focus on, not building a future. | No I do not |

2024-10-03 11:15:45 +02:00 | Marius | No I do not | All of the above | Dear Mr President, I would remind you Mr. President that incitement to violence is already on the books and limits what people are allowed to say under free speech laws. Analogically, when all people are rich, nobody is rich because the metric for measuring wealth becomes ineffective under such a condition. Similarly, when unpopular or offensive speech is considered violent, it follows logically that true violence is no longer violent, and true violence can no longer be meaningfully measured when everything offensive is viewed as violent. This bill will be used to create lawfare against people who hold unpopular opinions that they are still entitled to as free individuals, by criminalizing views that people held historically and still hold today, simply because someone subjectively views it as offensive. Imagine the effect of casting off traditions and views held for generations in service of progress... when it is our traditions that give us our very identity. These things are not to be taken lightly. Lastly, our politics are under pressure to be reformed for the better of all citizens. Signing this bill will undoubtedly create further division in a country that needs more unification. Please do not sign this bill. Sincerely, A Concerned Citizen | No I do not |
2024-10-02 08:39:21 +02:00 | Phumlani | Yes I do | No concern | Racism has no place here. Racists must go back to Europe. | No I do not |
2024-09-16 10:06:36 +02:00 | Tiaan | No I do not | All of the above | I completely oppose this Bill, it merely damages our lack of freedom of speech even further. It's anti-human. | Yes I do |
2024-09-06 12:27:48 +02:00 | Johann | Not fully | Constitutionality of the Bill | No I do not | |
2024-08-15 14:28:36 +02:00 | Carrie | No I do not | All of the above | Hate speech can have innumerable consequences for the population. A joke, a meme , that is intended to be humorous can be termed hate speech. It will probably include monitoring all social media. Revenge and intimidation and just plain language difference misunderstandings will arise | Yes I do |
2024-07-04 12:43:41 +02:00 | D | No I do not | Other | Another way where free speech and personaql opinion/feeling is being manipulated or oppressed to accomodate everyone except those who actually think logically. | No I do not |
2024-06-27 08:06:56 +02:00 | J | No I do not | The Bill is unnecessary | What is the govt so fearful of? | No I do not |
2024-05-16 18:48:36 +02:00 | Charlie | No I do not | The Bill is vague and ambiguous | Yes I do | |
2024-05-10 23:13:48 +02:00 | Raviesh | No I do not | The broad definition of hate speech | What exactly is the definition of hate speech and it directly goes against our constitution so our constitution right should be protected , and how will it help reduce crime in our country. | Yes I do |

2024-04-18 20:30:05 +02:00 | Patricia | No I do not | All of the above | Speaking up when the government commits criminal acts against "we the people" is not "hate speech", it is the basic human right of every citizen in a democracy. If we no longer have that right we are living in a totalitarian dictatorship. | No I do not |
2024-04-16 18:16:19 +02:00 | Regina | No I do not | All of the above | The bill is vague, unnecessary and leaves the door wide open for ideologies to be pushed down on innocent good peace loving citizens. Its application will cause harm not good. The bill should be reconsidered and allow for freedom of religion and freedom of speech which has been the foundation of a great nation for a long time. | Yes I do |
