"Other government officials have expressed concern that fake news and "hate speech" on the internet could influence a parliamentary election in September in which chancellor Angela Merkel will seek a fourth term in office.
Germany has seen an increase in online hate speech following an influx of more than a million migrants.
Facebook Germany said they were pleased with the progress in their efforts to tackle the issue of fake news, but admit more needs to be done."
>be german >get raped by refugee >report it to police >life in prison for hate speech
Eli King
It's even worse than it, the daughter of a high ranking german civil servant was raped to death by a refugee, the irony is that her father was a pro refugee official and that he collected money to help the so called refugee at his daughter funerals
Samuel Martin
Germany is a failed state
Lincoln Young
Merkel has turned Germany halfway into East Germany. Ministry of truth next.
Andrew Johnson
it was created by americans so that was bound to happen
Juan Hernandez
More like an Orwelian version of north Korea
Xavier Richardson
We are too fat to be North Korea.
Anthony Miller

I don't see how anyone who believes in democracy could possibly think that bestowing Facebook (a company with some extreme positions respecting digital privacy, net neutrality, and content access limitations (see India Internet proposal)) is a good idea. The market determines what truth is, not a corporation with unchecked power.
Angel Collins
It was brought in Germany on German governement demand and this censorship will be done by germans """"fact""" checkers
Easton Hernandez
No one will care because it won't affect their daily lives.

>implying it won't be implemented in all Europe because of kikebook
"In December, German lawmakers announced plans to introduce a bill that would fine Facebook 500,000 euros (or about $535,000) for not removing fake news posts within 24 hours. On Sunday, the Financial Times reported that the company will be testing its fake news filtering system in—you guessed it—Germany!
Facebook announced in December that it was building a way for users to report fake news on the site—now it seems the country will be one of the first places to try it out. In an email to Gizmodo, the company said it began testing a similar filter in the United States a month ago. "
Coincidences ? I think not

Ian Miller
Well, at least does left-leaning fake news like Buzzfeed or Salon count as "Fake News".
Just a few days ago Buzzfeed release that weird Trump disclosure which had zero verified sources and various larger news outlets ripped on Buzzfeed for their belief that they should "publish even before fact verification and let the public decide"
I don't even know who is shitposting and who is left-leaning anymore.
Juan Murphy
>Cucks trying to copy us while patheticly failling

>implying the judges and MP's are not sucking Merkel cock
You know it's possible, and you also know that without the pressure on social networks by Merkel's pals and the UE comission this shit from the USA wonld'nt be brought in here.
Reality is more and more unreal in Germany as the time pass

Parker Morgan
It's either her or the commies, am I right?
Charles Sullivan
No we can vote people out of office if we're not content with how they run things. You should try that, too.
Caleb Adams
Actually she made a coalition with the socialist party...
The germans could still vote AfD but they are cucks.
Yeah we also had a guarenteed free speech in your constitution just like the USA, now you can see how much shit happened.

Does Germany not have term limits?
Angel Ortiz
Why not show the approval ratings of lil Kim of Best Korea? If you really believe the polling results of a proto-fascist police state, if you really believe Putin won 99.96 % of votes in Chechnya during last elections etc then i can only pity you.
Gabriel Morales
other countries usually have to enforce them
Tyler Cox
How often do you want to contradict yourself?
Nolan Stewart

Brayden Carter
Well iirc our limit used to be just a matter of custom for years until FDR abused the system and served 4 terms, at which point we made it a law.
Kayden Lee
>Yeah we also had a guarenteed free speech in your constitution just like the USA, now you can see how much shit happened. I think you need to reformulate that sentence.
>>implying the people will vote for the AfD About 15% do. And?
Oliver Rivera
Difficult to judge approval ratings in a country which so heavily restricts freedom of information, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press etc.
Approval ratings are meaningless when anyone who dissents too loudly in public gets thrown in prison.
Ryan Clark
I hate Germans so much
Easton Foster
yep
Levi Wood
Again: show the numbers for Kim! You are a complete fool.
