This repeal takes a look at the established WA resolution on Freedom of Expression and sets forth a few points on why it should be repealed and replaced with a better functioning resolution. The repeal proposal focuses on a seemingly ignored scenario by the original author: corporate entities and legal persons using Freedom of Expression to justify lying to consumers and clients. The original resolution does not have any protections against this, and in a way with the clause "Requires member states to respect and uphold this right in all available media to all individuals under their jurisdiction;" seems to expressly facilitate this scenario. The repeal proposal does stress that the author is confident in a "scrambling of legislative efforts to replace this resolution with more appropriate legislation," and it's my opinion that a future proposal could cover this loophole in a fitting manner. Therefore, it is my recommendation that Her Adorable Owlishness votes aye to this proposal. Edited by Lynxi, Jun 24 2018, 11:40 PM.
