Too bad. I'm allowed to publish whatever nonesense I want. Any group can write publish protest yell scream whatever they want about any subject.
You can't have the government saying it's ok to protest about this, but not about this. Or it's ok to write books about this subject, but not this subject.
Free speech should be unconditional in my view. Hate crimes are generally an impediment on free speech. Just because a view is preceived as wrong doesn't mean that is should be illegal to express. See Galileo.
Even if Zundell is completly wrong and out of his tree and all this stuff, I don't see how denying something happened as a crime. I also don't see it as spreading false news. There are a billion books on UFO's, monsters, coverups, conspiracies etc and I don't see any of them being labeled as spreading false news.
It's a slippery slope when we start regulating certain books as "spreading false news". I don't like to hear that at all.
