None of this appears to cross the line into incitement, even as actual murders are going on.
Even posts directly linked to mob violence, like Wirathu posting about a “rumor of an alleged rape of a Buddhist girl by “Bengali-Muslim” men,” without an explicit call for violence is likely protected. Even if a “seemingly coordinated riot” occurs days later. www.theguardian.com/world/2013/a...
There are societies that have gone a different way. Germany decided that maybe genocide was too high a price to pay and banned extremist parties. But, you know, they’re not really free.
