Hętta veršur strax öllum rķkisstušningi viš samtökin 78
Ķ kjölfar sżknudóm Pįls Vilhjįlmssonar kęru samtakanna 78 fór ég ķ smį rannsóknarvinnu.
Samtökin hafa a.m.k. lagt fram 15 kęrur fyrir hatursoršręšu og mér sżnist ašeins tvęr kęrur hafi veriš felldar nišur įšur įšur en žęr fengu dómslega mešferš. Fyrstu 10 kęrurnar neitaš lögregla aš rannsaka nįnar, en rķkissaksóknari sneri žeirri įkvöršun eftir įfrżjun S78. Sķšustu kęrurnar eru lķklega enn ķ mešferš yfirvalda en lķklegt veršur aš telja aš žęr muni lķka enda meš įkęru. Fram til žessa hafa langflestar kęrur endaš meš sżknu, en žegar sakfellt hefur veriš hafa dómarnir veriš afar mildir. 100 žśsund króna sekt, sem er ķ litlu samręmi viš mįlskostnaš eša fyrirhöfn. Raunveruleg refsing fyrir žessa dóma viršist žannig fyrst og fremst vera kostnašur sakborninga viš mįlsvörn, sem getur aušveldlega hlaupiš į milljónum. Ķ tilfelli Pįls kann žessi óbeina refsing jafnvel hafa veriš enn hęrri žvķ ķ kjölfar įkęrunnar samdi hann um starfslok sem kennari eftir aš yfirmašur hans hafši lżst megnri óįnęgju meš skrif Pįls og žaš aš hann hefši veriš kęršur. Hans refsing, atvinnumissirinn kann žvķ aš vera upp į tug milljóna.
Refsingin er žannig įn dóms og laga: Mannoršsįrįs sem sem ógnar atvinnuöryggi žess sem rįšist er į. 15 einstaklingar hafa veriš kęriš og aš mešaltali er dómarefsingin 20 žśsund króna sekt dreift į alla, en mįlsvarnarkostnašurinn hleypur į milljónum. Žetta er algjör geggjun, og sżnir hversu sišlaus žessi lög eru.
En fyrst žessi sišlausu lög eru til stašar, žį er lķtiš viš žvķ aš gera, žvķ ķ réttarrķki eiga allir sem finnst į sér brotiš rétt į žvķ aš kęra lögbrot. Žaš sem gerir žetta mįl hins vegar óešlilegt er aš S78 eru hįpólitķsk samtök sem eru aš mestu leyti fjįrmögnuš af hinu opinbera. Samkvęmt 2024 voru 49% tekna S78 bein framlög rķkisins, 32% voru styrkir (margir frį yfirvöldum) og 10% tekna voru vegna fręšslu, ž.a. allt 91% tekna S78 upp į 197 milljónir voru frį rķkinu. Ašeins 2% tekna samtakanna komu frį félagsgjöldum. Starfsmenn S78 eru žvķ nįnast opinberir starfsmenn og margir žeirra starfa viš aš finna leišir til aš kęra samlanda sķna og valda žeim hįmarks skaša.
Og hver ętli kostnašurinn hafi veriš. Hér er mitt slum-mat į žaš miša viš flękjustig mįlann (óvissa -50% + 100%)
- Kostnašur S78: 20 milljónir
- Kostnašur rķkisins: 20milljónir
- Kostnašur sakborninga: 20 milljónir
- ALLS: 60 milljónir!
(įn tillits til óbeins skaša žess įkęrša, eins og t.d. atvinnumissi)
Finnst nokkrum manni ešlilegt aš slķkar mannoršsįrįsir žar sem 91% refsingarinnar er dómsferliš sjįlft séu fjįrmagnašar af rķkinu?

All government funding for Samtökin 78 should be immediately terminated.
Following the acquittal of the accused in the lawsuit brought by the organization Fund10, I conducted some research.
Since 2015, the organization has filed at least 15 complaints for hate speech, and it appears that only two complaints were dismissed before receiving judicial consideration. The first 10 complaints were initially refused further investigation by the police, yet the Director of Public Prosecutions overturned that decision upon appeal. The most recent complaints are likely still under consideration by the authorities, but it is probable they will also result in charges. So far, the vast majority of complaints have been felled with acquittals, but when convictions have occurred, the penalties have been extremely lenient. A fine of 100,000 ISK, which is negligible compared to the legal costs or effort involved. The real punishment in these cases seems to primarily be the defendants legal defense costs, which can easily run into the millions. In the case of Pįll Vilhjįlmsson, this indirect punishment may be even higher, as following the charges, he negotiated a termination of his employment as a teacher after his superior expressed significant dissatisfaction with his writings and the events and the fact that he had been charged. His punishment, the loss of his job, may thus amount to ten of million ISK or more.
The punishment is thus imposed without judgment or law: a reputational attack that threatens the job security of the person targeted. Fifteen individuals have been charged, and on average, the judicial penalty is a 20,000 ISK fine spread across all cases, while legal defense costs run into the millions. This is absolute madness and demonstrates how unethical these laws are.
But as long as these unethical laws exist, theres little to be done about it, because in a state governed by the rule of law, everyone who feels wronged has the right to file a complaint for a legal violation. What makes this case unnatural, however, is that S78 is a highly political organization that is largely funded by the state. According to 2024 yearly account, 49% of S78s income was direct government contributions, 32% were grants (many from authorities), and 10% of income came from educational activities, meaning a total of 91% of S78s income, amounting to 197 million ISK, came from the state. Only 2% of the organizations income came from membership fees. Thus, S78s employees are effectively public employees, and many of them work to find ways to sue their fellow citizens and cause them maximum harm.
And what might the cost have been? Here is my rough estimate based on the complexity of the cases (with an uncertainty of -50% to +100%):
- S78s costs: 20 million ISK
- States costs: 20 million ISK
- Defendants costs: 20 million ISK
TOTAL: 60 million ISK!
(This does not account for the indirect harm to the accused, such as job loss.)
Does anyone find it reasonable that such reputational attacks, where 95% of the punishment is the legal process itself, are funded by the state?
