Why do Europeans hate free speech so much?

Fat chance

They're led by Germans, so it shouldn't be a surprise to you.

Because they don't have it

and the internet is a big ol middle finger wagging in their face

...

Mao. Eu can suck balls. They cant do shit

What are they going to do? Ban the internet? Worked great in Egypt.
But this raises the question, I play WoW if I move to an EU sever and use hate speech beside getting banned would I receive a summons to some German court?

It's not hate speech they're worried about
It's criticism of their block that scared them, it's not strong enough to withstand reasoned argument, so all dissent should be 'removed'

>it's bad when China censors their internet
>it's good when Europe tells America to censor their internet

But Zuckerberg is already working with Merkel to send stasi to blackbag and disappear all Germans who speak out against her regime on Jewbook.

also, stop using Jewbook.

>the EU is demanding
>EU
>demanding anything from anyone


top kek

>EU is demanding facbook etc to crack down on hate speech
>but keep selling our citizens' private information to advertising companies. That's alright. no problem with that

Standard practice for communists, thanks for siding with them, amerifats.

>>but keep selling our citizens' private information to advertising companies. That's alright. no problem with that
>being stupid enough to give your real information to facebook.

You have like 40 days until an American administration tells you to fuck off.

EU forced steam to give refunds, forced Google to let porn stars and criminals delete their shit off the search results. You're being naive if you don't think Europe has power over US tech firms doing business here and any changes are likely to affect you as well. (not saying I'm happy about that btw)

More like standard practice for EU nations.

These things don't involve free speech

Who the fuck is the EU to demand anything from anybody? They just lost Britain, they're going to lose Italy, and maybe france. They've done nothign but sow disaster. And they're going to demand something from American citizens?

When can we team up with Russia and just carpet bomb Europe already? It's way overdue.

>3 years jail for rewriting history
>bad
Lel

US constitution doesn't guarantee free speech on a privately owned website, they can do as they please.

>tech giants crack down on hate speech

This can be beaten by talking antonymously.

>eg "I Iike white people."

Thanks EU

Why doesn't this shit work for turkey?

Jew lobby was assblasted about that proposition because that'd severely limit holocaust industry's possibilities, now they're gonna stick to "M-m-muh jedwabne, 2 billion jews were cramped in a barn and set on fire."

...

wonder if that only means facebook and jewtube and the likes

since i always only shitpost on Sup Forums i wonder if i am alright should this shit come to pass?

Because apparently they want people to stop peacefully discussing the immigration issues and instead start fixing them

That was a mighty big barn

I'll post what i please.

The European Union, much like many individual European countries, has no concept of natural rights. It maintains that rights are given by the state and can be, by extension, taken away by the state.

Our bill of rights, for instance, "gives" rights to citizens. It doesn't restrict government power, like yours does.

What's it like to know your nation is descending into Communism?

How are laws meant to force them to do so? What power does the EU have over US companies?

For Jew

Yeah, that's retarded.

He still won't get fucking arrested though, and threatened with jail time. The First Amendment only protects you from the government though, a private company can still fire you if you say something they do not like.

Well here we go. Guess we didn't learn our lesson last time. We never learn our lesson. History is just one giant mobius strip.

they have seen how trump has been memed to the presidency and fear similar effects in european countries. That's why the retarded spanish government wants to ban 'political memes' and the eu wants to crack down on 'hate speech'

Why do Sup Forumstards love hate speech? You fags don't care about free speech, you just want to troll and suffer no consequences. You couldn't go to your job or any public place and call people niggers and sugar tits, so why should you be allowed to be an edgelord online?

Well you should be able to. They're just words and i find it ridicilous that you can get punished for saying something "wrong"

>EU "demanding" anything
Pssht. EU is falling apart; it will be gone in 8 years.

What defines 'hate speech'?

Hate is a moral value. Something you consider hate other people may not.

>Be german
>Write: "I don't like refugees" on facebook
>Get house swarmed at 2 in the morning by SWAT equivalence
>They take all my electronics and storage devices
>Get arrested
>Accused of hatespeech
>Have to pay horrible sums for a lawyer now
>Good chances of losing the case and pay for it + police raid

To think Europe was supposed to lead the way forward. Oh what a mess!

How dumb do you have to be to believe that hate will just magically end if you make it taboo?

Why are the proponents of PC culture so fucking stupid?

The government of another country is demanding it. Its a complicated issue.

Fucking what the hell is that fucking name wtf

+they could always find "your" other illegal material on your pc which of course was always there.

>when you put 10000% more resources into fighting the detractors of terrorists than fighting terrorism itself

"Hate speech" is a meaningless buzzword for "things I don't like" or are too inconvenient for certain interests.

Just like "fake news", and other newspeak that can be broadly applied to anything (even scientific data if it offends someone), it's generally counter-productive, and applied in a one-sided manner, depending on how dictates the platform.

They are just trying to restrict language and ideas further to their advantage, not for any righteous cause.

Fuck the EU. Trump won

Hate speech is defined as anything detrimental to the globalist agenda to rule us all. Of course the Jew can't allow it.

I reject the very concept of "hate speech" at its most fundamental level. It's no more intelligible than "love car wash" or "anger drinking". It's a preposterous notion and I challenge it's most basic premises. Even if it were proven to be a real thing, and not just a made-up conceptual pretext used to leverage left-wing political action, I'd still reject it, but the principle hasn't even gotten to that stage and I don't think it ever can it's so asinine.

Kinda funny how europeans cry nazism all the time while they're being led into war by Germany, the progressives are the new nazis

BAD GOY BAD GOY BAD GOY BAD GOY

SHUT IT DOWN

((((Certain interests))))

save me america

Get in the oven, kike.

>Rewriting history

People say shit all the time that's not historically accurate, it's not exactly something for which you should be incarcerating people.

Also, people that call Auschwitz a "Polish death camp" do so because of the camp's geographic location, not because they think the Polish government/people was operating it. Quit being such babies.

what the fuck can they even do?

just delete shit off of their sites?

>Why do Europeans hate free speech so much?
because they dun goofed with the immigrants and they want to try and stop people criticizing them about it

How can the eu force a us based company to do anything that attacks our free speech?

Because like religius freedom it gets abused.

Simpel. The nazis will loose a comunication platform.

Get scaterd and are easyer to kill.

>a private company can still fire you if you say something they do not like.
Which should also be made illegal.

This is why we need to leave the UN an NATO.

The elites think they can push us around because we're all interconnected.

If we leave, the other nations will feel empowered to leave too, and (((they))) won't have as much power, without the US backup, to try to force this shit on other nations either.

>Because like religius freedom it gets abused.
It's impossible to 'abuse' freedom of speech you sack of human garbage.

Daily reminder that 'hate speech' literally does not exist.

>Muh it's just words! Relax bro!
Oh really? So when the people in entertainment and other politicians make fun of Trump, he has no right to be upset with them?
Let's not pretend to be ignorant and claim we don't know what's offensive. Sure some sjw terms are bullshit, but you know exactly what words and terms problem trigger specific people or make them feel endangered. Words and easily become action.
Should those people wait until those words result in someone getting physically hurt before they're able to take action? This image is an example of how "words" can result in people getting hurt.

THIS IS HATE SPEECH AND ANTISEMITISM AND BIGOTRY AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT AS ONE OF THE SURVIVORS OF THE HOLOCAUST WHERE 6 GAZILLIONS OF FAMILY MEMBERS DIED

MEANWHILE, SAYING I HATE THE WHITE RACE, THAT'S NOT HATE SPEECH, THAT'S JUST "PUNCHING UP" AGAINST THE OPPRESSOR: WHITEY

Just remind everybody from time to time that:

Sup Forums is satire and a board of peace! Everything posted here is meant in jest!
I fully subscribe to Muttis ideas of multiculturalism, safe spaces and white genocide!
Please do not arrest me for text written on this website, StaSi, because it is all just satire. A roleplay, if you so wish, depicting a truly absolutely horrible world where people dare speak their mind without regard for feelings or Muttis orders!
Heil Merkel, Heil Multiculturalism.


Write that once in a while and you're good.

>Why do Europeans hate free speech so much?

EU is a marxist sect for fuck's sake.

>Turkish spelling skills

Do we have to shelter everyone because some people are fucked in the head?

>cant buy plastic forks with out id
>cant own a gun for personal protection
>if you use even a hunting gun for protection, you can be prosecuted
>man gets sentenced for doing nothing but visiting websites

urop really is a shit hole isnt it.

>Why do Europeans hate free speech so much?

EU =/= Europe

Why did they make Best Girl a lesbian?

Not necessarily but there's no need to catalyze shit like this, especially when you know there are fucked up people on the internet.

Those tech giants are censoring their sites on their own ground rules already, shitter, facefuck, plebbit,...Doesn't have anything similar to free speech, more like pushing their own agendas.
The UE want more control over them, this is not about free speech, is about who control the new media, millenials don't read papers or see tv.

...

do it. i beg facebook and twitter to do it.

it will just mean they will lose people on their platform and give way for other sites. soon, they will go full fascists and censor anything that is not neo-left and lose even more people.

New thread,lads.

They're afraid of the great white chimpout.

come to Germany and say that if you dare.

We're in the front page greentard

You mean to say you love ISIS recruiting terrorists because it is free speech?

Depends where you live. US companies, in yurop, are subject to the laws of yurop.

Trump can't get in office fast enough.

For fuck's sake. Is anyone who goes against Sup Forums's status quo bait, a shill, or jew worshipping sjw nigger? I thought this board was for discussion. I apologize if I've triggered you in your safe space.

Hate speech = political opposition. Didn't you read those George Orwell books as a kid?

so if mass immigration is the government's policy, then an anti-immigration stance is to oppose the government. That's the real reason it's labeled as hate speech

It's very simple.

Protect the first amendment and deal with actual real world crimes instead of pandering to libtears.

Auschwitz is a Polish death camp ::---DDDD

>britbong can't differentiate the concept of explicit terrorist recruitment from groups like ISIS that openly advocate murder and anti-Western attacks
>britbong can't differentiate between giving a platform to foreign groups that are openly against the West (which is an issue of national security) and usually not even located in Europe, to legislation that is aimed at actual Europeans

The brainwashing is already done.

> Poland is a Polish death damp ::--DDDDDDDD
Fixed!

not real! r right?

Wouldn't that make the converse true? If mass deportation is part of government policy,
Pro-immigration speech becomes anti-american, marxist propaganda.

>Because they don't have it

>and the internet is a big ol middle finger wagging in their face

This ^^

Call America what ever names you want, it has the important stuff nailed.

>triggered you in your safe space.

You're the one who is defending potential hate speech laws applied to the internet because you're triggered and want the entire world and web to be a "safe space".

Let's assume you're not a shill/troll. You use words "sjw terms", as if defending "hate speech laws" being forced upon the internet doesn't make you a SJW.

Why do you hate free speech so much?

Next you will be saying I cannot advocate the murder of Jews.

OOOOOOH NOOOOOO WHAT EVER WILL WE DO. BETTER LISTEN GUYS. THEY'RE SUPER CEREAL

...

>Promotion of counter narratives
Wait, so they're not admitting to intentionally inflating the importance of issues for political ends? And not just admitting to it, claiming that this is a wholesome and desired action?

>It is illegal not to promote EU propaganda

pic related look familiar?

...

Because they're run by fucking commies and fugees
