>A Canadian man is facing federal charges after allegedly flooding over 1,000 Twitch channels with 150,000 spam messages early last year. The messages, which included racial and antisemitic slurs, spurred the British Columbian supreme court to issue a criminal charge for “mischief in relation to computer data” in early December, CBC reports. He could face up to ten years in prison. >In February and March 2017, 20-year-old Brandan Apple allegedly used the Twitch spam service ChatSurge to send offensive messages to Twitch streamers. ChatSurge purports to “flood, destroy or simply demolish any Twitch.tv chatroom,” a tutorial video explains. >After the attack, Twitch filed a court order to determine Apple’s identity. The order details some of the egregious messages sent by the chatbot, including “Death to all jews Death to all jews,” “Allah hates Gays KappaPride” and “We wanna see gameplay not those big jugs.” Some messages linked to sexual content including children. Twitch’s court filing alleges that, at points, Apple was sending up to 700 messages a minute.
Should vidya shitposters literally be jailed?
Brandon Ramirez
It's called free speech, you communist fuck. If I want to call you a stupid bitch, it's my God given right to do so
Aiden Mitchell
shitposting is now illegal in canada
Landon Thompson
>“We wanna see gameplay not those big jugs.”

Who'd have thought Canada would be the ones to kill Sup Forums

Why wasn't he out spending time with his gf instead of shitposting?
James Nguyen
average post quality instantly doubles
Jace Flores
thanks weedman
Nathaniel Roberts
I had to look this up to make sure were weren't just trolling. Are streamers just so retarded that they don't know how to use the block button? Or was the bot used just making several accounts?
Matthew Lee
They're free to react how they want
Hudson Thomas
not video game gay janitor
Connor Price
free speech doesn't apply to a chatroom owned by a company though
Ryder Murphy
Good. I have 12 confirmed bans against toxic idiots on Overwatch. Get that ass banned.
Nathaniel Kelly
So Canada, was becoming an abomination of an Orwellian Islamic State worth the weed Trudeau?
Nicholas Baker
The charges being sought are criminal and not civil tho.
Jacob Reed
Twitch is an American company so they have to follow the first amendment, you stupid fucks
Bentley Allen
if they make this law then every canadian would be jailed its literally in the leaf's blood to shitpost, even inadvertently
David Anderson
Don't break the law then.
Jacob Sanchez
>Canadian the memes are real
Christopher Parker

Blake Barnes
Why does free speech happen to be the most misunderstood and misquoted law by retards like you?
Eli Perez
Company having some shitty internet chat is not above the law you retard.
Christopher Campbell
>Death to all jews >Allah hates Gays >Some messages linked to sexual content including children Don't worry, it'll be very islamophobic and culturally insensitive to jail him so Canada is probably safest place on Earth for him.
Jeremiah Bailey
>using the juridic system to charge shitposters This is a literal 1st world problem
Hunter Smith
that´s not free speech commie
Ryder Myers
Incels should watch a different streamer then
Jason Thomas
>trying to be funny in twitch chat >eventually slip up and make some edgy 4chins joke about jews or blacks >entire stream starts to demonize me >streamer asks the mods to issue a ban
Isaiah Sullivan
I was ready to defend him until I saw he was using a chatbot and no VPN. He's a script kiddy, fuck him.
Tyler Green
>trying to be funny Or you could just not.
Adrian Martin
>some messages linked lead to sexual content including children. There's the issue. 2D or not.
Evan Parker
Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequence.
Ethan Brooks
>posting hatespeech in Canada
Hope he needed his shit hole remodeled or something because it will be unrecognizable once the government gets through with it
Anthony Evans
Is imprisonment a reasonable consequence for shitposting?
Blake Sanders
>it's illegal to shitpost
The absolute state of Canada.
Jonathan Adams
>federal t-thanks government, please take my guns away too so I can't defend myself
Henry Cooper
>spamming links to CP is free speech
Adam Watson
you're right the government should be able to regulate what we say
Logan Martinez
yes
Alexander Brooks
In that case, yes
Tyler Mitchell
Wojak posters in prison when
Jose Nguyen
White males should be preemptively castrated and lobotomized in infancy. The world suffered too much at the hands of these devils and their endless bigotry
Dominic Gray
>Shitposting is now illegal in Canada FUCK YOU TRUDEAU IT WAS MY ONE ESCAPE FORM THE HELLISH COLD OF WINTER
Nathan Taylor
It's ok to do jokes about anything while we are anonymous, but you don't do it in the "real" internet, user. It's sad how here is one of the last places where you can talk shit from your mind without e-drama but this is how the world is now
Who said government? You have all the right to shit talk someone, but that someone is free to not be a passive subject of your shit talking
Aiden Flores
>Female tit streamer
The new face of twitch
Cooper Bell
>Is imprisonment a reasonable consequence for shitposting?
Theft is also punishable by years of imprisonment, but doesn't mean it happens.
He'll just get a fine and community service.
Grayson Gutierrez
want to know how i know you're not american and a phoneposter?
Samuel Mitchell
shitposting is legal, flooding servers with spam in a DDOS like attack is illegal
Oliver Harris
>imprisonment >not involving the government
So, I'm thinking you're gonna get life there, mr. shitposter.
Nicholas Mitchell
It's time for the white male to end
Jacob Roberts
INSHALLAH MY BROTHERS
Mason Gutierrez
>it's a Sup Forums doesn't understand free speech episode
Wew
Ethan Long
What part of "A canadian man" didn't you get? They don't have free speech. Wrongthink has been an arrestable crime in canada for years now.
Ayden Campbell
>Who said government? What do you think the British Columbian Supreme Court is?
He is danger of being thrown in a cage for 10 years because he said some stupid shit on twitch. Please try to explain to me how this is acceptable or moral in any way.
Julian Hall
Anyone else unironically enjoys the fact that the world is turning into a dystopian nightmare? I've no family and children to leave behind so I can relax and enjoy the shitshow, by God it's hilarious
Bentley Davis
if only it was this easy to get rid of some of the infamous Canadian shitposters here.
Lincoln Phillips
Nope, anyone saying yes are literal cucks raised in liberal arts. Hateful words are not constitutional ground for imprisonment. This is of itself the true form of tyrannical speech muffling.
Kayden Perry
>our guy was a leaf all along
Who would have thunk.
Alexander Wright
Canada doesnt have free speech
Ryder Williams
ok
Sebastian Edwards
Free speech doesn't apply to anyone but Americans anyway. Sorry to miss in your cup non-Americans, but you don't actually have freedom of speech.
Joshua Hill
>"if it doesnt support current political agenda its not free speech"
its pretty simple
Grayson Evans
u cant look inside a mind stupid frogfucker
Dominic Price
>the first fucking panel
user...
Gavin Perry

funny how it came from some loser who spent all day on twitch
Julian Gonzalez
>bootlickers saying "Just don't break the law"
I'm going to show my father this board sometimes every time he tells me "stop naking fun of gentiles, they are good people just like us"
Nope, you all goys are dumb fucking cattle, literally begging to be butchered
Luke Baker
You guys remember when some American teenager posted some edgy shit about killing babies on facebook, because he got mad in league of babies? And then some Canadian feminist called the cops on him. He's still in prison.
Joseph Robinson
lol DEATH TO ALL JEWS DEATH TO ALL JEWS DEATH TO ALL JEWS
Hudson Cox
>interfering with the profit making of the corporations he was asking for it
Austin Brooks
Canada is 3rd world shit hole. So who cares really?
John Stewart
I have the legal right to call you a donkey raping shit eater anywhere in my country and not be jailed You beng a non american does not have that right and i could haveyou arrested by the hurt feeling brigade
Angel Wright
some retard being charged for spamming is dystopian to you? if he sent the same shit in a single message he would be banned for a while at worst, you dumb bitch
Anthony Garcia
...
Dylan Jones
>tfw going to jail because my shitposting here >tfw meeting you guys in the bathroom who much more gay would the prisons get?
Jeremiah Davis
I wonder if he's a Muslim now.
Adrian Green
Kid was American, I literally specified that so people like you wont post this.
Henry Watson
There's no way that isn't satirical.
Hudson Morales
If your citizens aren't allowed to own guns, and you open the borders, your country will turn into Canada
Nicholas Gray
Yes, and a Canadian 3rd worlder got him in jail. What is your point?
Gabriel Williams
>suggesting that people should buy guns "for self-defence" would be considered inciting violence
Cooper Parker
I stopped reading this shit after the second sentence. I wonder what country that cuck is from. I'm from the eastern Europe third world, and it's not like that, even though we have other issues.
Aiden Martin
>Texass is retarded
Tell me something I don't know
Christopher Moore
>walk into prison showers >floor is literally covered in bars of soap >everyone in there is bent over braced against the wall
Sounds about right
Asher Allen
Got any proof that hes still locked up? Also threats are not covered under first A but me calling you a subhuman that deserves to be killed is.
Zachary Peterson
>being a canadian
Serves him right thbqhwyf
Blake Torres
How can so many Americans not even understand their first amendment
Leo Jenkins
fuck off back to plebbit and take your incel drama with you
Julian Baker
Europoors are a disgrace
Blake Bailey
>WHIIRRRRS YOU INTO JAIL
Eli Young
Does it not bother you in the slightest?
I signed a petition to free him right when it happened, and I occasionally get emails updating me on how they refuse to look at his case.
Kayden Smith
There's a anti "hatespeech" law in germony but afaik it's only enforced on Judenbuch and twitter. Or other normalfag social media.
Nathan Long
This
First Amendment means you can say anything you want, except illegal things
Charles Allen
>wojakposter going to jail and becoming bubba's little bitch Even now there is hope for man.
Zachary Perry
>how they refuse to look at his case Thats language for "he's free" they know they haveno case and cant keep him locked up over a simple threat.
Jason Hernandez
>canadians in charge of rights LOL
Connor Kelly
>Canadian shitposters
Imagine Sup Forums had flags again 50% of them had an Canadian flag and could be easilyfiletred
Colton Wood
legal issues aside, this guy had to be an obsessive shitposter who would be better removed from society.
Grayson Jenkins
>wojak ends up as a new religion in prison
Benjamin Robinson
>post that sometimes I wish I was American >this is the type of person that bombards me with 56% memes, shart in mart, and get shot shit
