You mean that very legal and factually-suppprted facet of the American justice system that every juror should be informed about before making a decision in court?

They revised mod policy to only hand out bans/deletions if jury nullification was referenced as a cause to vilence, not a reaction o past events. I’m paraphrasing, of course.

Yeah, basically

“Go do [Violence] and we’ll do jury nullification afterwards” is bad, bur

“[Violence happened], but it was justified in the eyes of the majority of people so jury Nullification should happen”

Is OK

We should all completely cease talking about it. It, of course being jury nullification.

Why? Seems like something people should know about.

I think that message was a sort of sarcastic way of getting around a “dont talk about jury nullification” rule, in that saying “we cant talk about x”, while making it very clear what x is, prompts people unfamiliar with x to go look it up

Because the refusal to convict someone based on laws and circumstances you feel are unjust is wrong and goes against everything the ruling class have fought for.

The policy was cleared up, basically EU/Dutch/Finnish law doesn’t like Jury Nullification in regards to future crimes/calls to violence. But in regards to crimes already committed it’s fine. And being as that’s where .world is hosted, that’s the law they go by.

Switched to dbzer0 straight after seeing a mod try and justify the censorship of this topic by saying something along the lines of “only God can judge.”

Now I get to enjoy aaaall the content world has defederated from.

To clarify, the admins have updated their views in reaction to this week and user feedback:

Following a discussion in our team we want to clarify that we are no longer requesting moderators to remove content relating to jury nullification in the context of violent crimes when the crime in question already happened. We will still consider suggestions of jury nullification for crimes that have not (yet) happened as advocation for violence, which is violating our terms of service.

They specifically said it’s okay in reference to crimes already committed.
