Ah the dumb smug arrogance.... I remember when the Vietnamese used to talk about Americans that way, "killing them all" in a war that they started as a False Flag. Then the NVA/VC turned those words into action and they did a pretty good job of killing Americans. Next thing you know Marines were being evaced from the top of the U.S. Embassy in Ho Chi Minh's city.

So the critical question to me is, has Google ever, at any time, allowed duplicate gmail accounts to be created? It is fine that Google ignores dots in accounts as long as they don’t allow the same account to be created without dots.

If for instance if you create the account anexample@gmail.com and Google would consider an.example@gmail.com to be the same thing, they should not then allow a new account an.example@gmail.com to be created since anexample@gmail.com already exists.

If they did allow an.example@gmail.com to be created when anexample@gmail.com already exists, that would obviously create *huge* problems. For instance if the admin email for a domain is anexample@gmail.com, someone else could create an.example@gmail.com, then potentially a fraudulent domain transfer could be initiated where the transfer email goes to both anexample@ and an.example@ or worse, just to an.example@.

Is it a settled thing that Gmail has never allowed duplicate accounts in this manner with dots? Google seems to say that they have never allowed that, but I wonder...

Wrong again. Yes it can, as I've told you many times now. Need yet another example of out of control "hate speech" laws being used for political censorship? Well look no further than the recent case of the 62 year old German woman fined 1,000 Euros for a meme, a harmless joke on Facebook:

And by the way, Judges and the Police are actually government entities, so of course the government has influence over them. In Rotherham, England the Police knew for at least 10 years of the mass, organized, systematic raping of children by Pakistanis and Afghans but refused to stop it because they were under government pressure to avoid the perception of being racist. So the government's policy of political correctness won over protecting children. Any country that makes that choice has no future, nor deserves one.

It only seems that way because the German news media has been in full pro-migrant propaganda mode for years now and most Germans are too afraid to say how they really feel, lest they end up fired from their jobs, "interviewed" by the police, fined, arrested or have their homes raided. So go on and live in that 90% fantasy world of yours

Are you really that stupid? If a 15 yr old can be arrested in Europe for an offensive tweet aimed at a football player who scored a goal against his favorite team, anything goes. No violence threatened, just offensive. And as for the theoretical American AR15 armed Father, he's likely thought out the consequences and found them worth taking for his hunting expedition since neither the police nor the justice system will protect his children. Furthermore, he's likely to find a sympathetic ear or two on an American jury for his temporary rage driven insanity, not necessarily convicted at all.

Again, "hate speech" is whatever the government and prevailing political correctness/thought police culture wants it to be. I've provided numerous examples and could provide many more. The example of the 62 yr old German woman makes it clear. Why is it so hard for you to grasp that "hate speech" is whatever the German/English/Swedish..government wants it to be?

Regarding the First Amendment all State and Federal law is subject to the U.S. Supreme Court's interpretation which requires "imminent lawless action" which means it is both imminent action (right now) and likely to actually happen, in order to restrict speech. Anything else goes including advocating that at some point in the future it would be a good idea for some people to take some illegal action, even if that "good idea" is violent. Any attempt to suppress that speech would fail the imminence requirement.

My links are not pointless at all, in fact they are a very small sampling of the countless lives destroyed or facing a lifetime of pain as a result of crime related to migration to Europe from the Middle East and Africa, to say nothing of the resentment that hard working Europeans have that their hard earned taxes are being used to sustain entire migrant populations. And that is naturally driving so called "hate speech". And censoring that speech will only make people more angry and lead to even more imaginative ideas as to how to stop the pain.

Rape and "other bullshit" (murder? theft? terrorism?) as you say, are not actually "bullshit". They are violent crime. And you seem to have a curious, perp like, lack of empathy for the victims of those crimes, asshole.

Obviously you don't have the same free speech rights that we have in the U.S. as evidenced by the fact the police in Germany are raiding homes for "inflaming hate versus others", apparently a crime in Germany but legal speech in the U.S.

Of course, "inflaming hate versus others" can easily be interpreted so widely that it can be used by the government to censor speech where the government feels most vulnerable, like Merkel's migrant policy, which is exactly what is happening. In other words, political censorship. And it has a chilling effect on speech. Maybe you want to write on Facebook about the rising crime rate attributed to migrants in the country but don't because you don't want an interview with the police or to end up on some government watch list. Maybe you won't get arrested but censor yourself as you don't want to worry if government pressure or being on such a list will affect your ability to earn a living.

U.S. Supreme Court has said over and over again that it is the most controversial speech that is most in need of 1st Amendment protection and has long recognized the chilling effect on speech that censorship can have. So NO, we don't have the same free speech rights as Europeans, idiot. What we have is far better, hence original point.

Obviously you do...moron. We are in the U.S.A, not Europe and if they tried the stuff you see in the (very short, could be infinitely longer) list below, very well armed U.S. citizens would defend themselves.
Something on the scale of Rotherham would never happen here because enraged Fathers, AR15 in hand, would hunt them down like the animals they are. Good thing I'm not in Europe, I'd arrested for saying that....

The foundational cornerstone of American democracy are the first and second amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The guarantee against government interference of free speech and the right of citizens to arm themselves. Everything else, all the other rights and amendments laid out in that document flow from and depend on the first two.

If you look at Europe today, that is exactly what European "democracies" lack, real U.S. strength 1st and 2nd amendments. What they lack are real free speech rights and the ability to defend themselves from their governments or the thug migrants that rape, murder and steal en masse in Europe. This is why they don't really have democracy in Europe. The EU is made up of a bunch of watered down, pseudo-democracies essentially run by Merkel via Brussels. Granted governments have tanks, etc, but there's no question that intimidating an armed people is a hella lot harder than an unarmed people.

What needs to happen is for a U.S. citizen(s) to set up a social media / discussion board hosted in the U.S. for the sole purpose of giving the people of Europe actual free speech. Give them the ability to say political things that their governments or Merkel doesn't like, without repercussion. The site/app, having no actual presence in Europe and based in the U.S., would be immune from any European country trying to obtain user info / ip addresses. People could use whatever user name they want and not worry about Germany, England or Sweden forcing the host site to give up any info, "we are Americans, piss off".

It might be blacklisted in Europe, there are ways around that. I realize that there is Tor, etc but that is too hard for most end users right now. And there are various U.S. based sites that could sort of do this now, but it really needs to be focused on Europe and advertise itself as a site for repressed Europeans to enjoy U.S. strength free speech. If they don't have the ability to speak freely, they have no hope.
