Is this a fucking joke lmao, first they pass HOMOSEX, now this. _______________________________________ German lawmakers have passed a controversial law under which Facebook, Twitter, and other social media companies could face fines of up to €50 million ($57 million) for failing to remove hate speech. The Network Enforcement Act, commonly referred to as the “Facebook law,” was passed by the Bundestag, Germany’s parliamentary body, on Friday. It will go into effect in October.
Under the law, social media companies would face steep fines for failing to remove “obviously illegal” content — including hate speech, defamation, and incitements to violence — within 24 hours. They would face an initial fine of €5 million, which could rise to €50 million. Web companies would have up to one week to decide on cases that are less clear cut.
Does this only apply to posts made by German citizens, or everyone? Will Merkel be able to tell FB to delete something an American posted? Or I'm assuming they only want FB to censor (hide) the post from German IP's?

They'll probably try to enforce that on everyone Tbqh corporations need to forget about this lost country

So if I was facebook I'd stop providing the service in Germany
Julian Edwards
Honestly if we're taking what has already happened into account, I've been banned upwards of 5 times or more for using the word faggot and once for saying muslims were destroying western society, all for 30 days every single one. They are already doing it, personally I feel like my right to express myself is already violated, I honestly cannot wait for the next best thing
Caleb Sanchez
The prefix "Bundes-" means collection, or union. Which makes sense since Germany is a collection of 16 states, or "Bundesländer"
sorry we can't call them wibbly wobbly country counties

Yeah, "federal" would be a more fitting translation, but it means the same.
Jacob Diaz
Why don't they do this? Why won't FB or other corporations just close their doors to countries that want to FUCK them? Cant they just disable their services to German IPs until the krautz reverse their stupid law?
Germany needs FB more than FB needs Germany.
Parker Martinez
I wasn't gonna even dignify such obvious bait with a response

Because Mark Zuckerjew is a virtue signaler, that's why his mods ban me all the time for lightly trolling

I honestly wonder what would happen if such a thing were tried in America, on the one hand I really hate facebook but I believe people have a right to express themselves even if what they are expressing I don't agree with. I'd revolt I think
Camden Martinez
How can it be legal for germany to enforce laws over an international corporation?
Owen Evans
over an international corporation in Germany. it cant do shit internationally, but in Germany, they can do what they want
Connor Perez
This. I don't think they can touch the American side of facebook but for the side that operates germany they have to adhere to their laws or face action. For real though watch them go along with it because this is the sort of shit Mark Zuckerjew supports. He's every bit as much a globalist kike as the rest
Oliver Martinez
It will be laws enforced against their own people and they will have a special group of people that monitor Facebook accounts within Germany.
Merkel and Mark sat and had meetings about it, Germany is also setting up a "Ministry of Truth" to ban "fake news" or what they deem to be fake news.
lol. Just watch this shit spread through the EU faster than a rapefugee raping someone.
Gabriel Cox
>He's every bit as much a globalist kike as the rest He also has those David Rockerfella melted red eyes. He is a demon.
Dominic Roberts
Literally 1984, like I'd feel bad for the germans if I didn't think they brought it on themselves. Something needs to be done though cause you're right it's gonna spread
Henry Howard
it's over, within the next 20 years Germany will fully change into something else entirely
Logan Jones
How are they going to enforce it? Let's say I'm running a website on a Polish server, what are they going to do? how are German hate speech laws any more relevant to foreign webmasters than Iranian blasphemy laws?
Brandon Davis
The EU has already got shit they are trying to pass, far more archaic than any UK laws.
It's quite messed up but what can you do? The EU is a cuckold now. But people will defend the EU for some silly reason, no idea why? Maybe they like being enriched and raped? They must enjoy it.
Dylan Richardson
>incitement >defamation >hate speech
>obviously illegal
all of those things can be totally ambiguous but i'm particularly curious how they will determine if something is defamation, in civilised countries, defamation is a civil matter and has to be tested in court. I suppose it is really referring to sedition, its no wonder turks love to move to germany, feels just like being in an authoritarian arab shithole but with more white girls to rape
Nolan Roberts
Is Poland extradition friendly with Germany? That's the only way I'd think they could go after you, no American unless our laws suddenly change is getting extradited for trolling
Nathan Price
Wouldn't that go in conflict with freedom of speech in Usa and other countries? I mean, what they even define as " hate speech? " If i call a Negro a nigger the reverse with white people would work too?
Matthew Robinson
It is in direct conflict with the first amendment.
Tyler Bennett
If it's introduced to the EU then they'll penalise your government with financial sanctions until you cave in. Much like with the rapefugee quotas.
But you're right, it's not really enforceable right now, only Germans that aren't using VPN's are gon get enriched.
Caleb Hernandez
We dont ban information here but all our major news outlets are fake. Propaganda is forced upon us in the mainstream. What germany is doing however by silencing alternative news sources and applying propaganda is tyranny.
Blake Wright
Just die germans
Colton Phillips
For real, rise up and fight or die at this point. those are your choices
Noah Morris
If it wasn't for kind nigger fucking with our propaganda laws we could go after our media for being so shit, fucking king nigger
Mason Reed
>first they pass HOMOSEX, now this.
The funny part is, that HOMOSEX got passed to cover up the censorship laws. And it works. Everyone is applauding the faggot marriage, while nobody even noticed the NetzDG.
Andrew Cook
Hence why I said "what they deem to be fake news". So stories that go against the current MSM narrative.
It cannot be enforced in other countries currently, it can only really be enforced within the EU if the commission passes legislation which they are itching to do. But no this won't affect Americans. Germany can fine Facebook, like they fine Google and Apple and everyone else. Because only Germans are allowed to cheat on emissions and be naughty, NO ONE ELSE ALLOWED.
MUH BRATWURST! MUH EIN REICH!!!!

What if you say Volkswagen is shit on German Facebook?
Adam Edwards
Bulgaria is right here, they would rather censore some comments than lose their bigges market
Jacob Parker
Its only about "hate speech", you can critizize lifeless enteties, exept idiologys, its purely political
Aaron Myers
The great thing is that this is just the thin end of the wedge. Once (((social media))) have been reigned in they'll come for sites like plebbit (if it isn't included already), then sites without registration. I would guess that we have another 2-3 years before Sup Forums will be attacked
Angel Ward
>law comes into effect >spam fb with millions of hate speech flags on innocuous shit 2 outcomes: 1. they can't handle it, end up deleting everyones pics. Public pissed. 2. Get fined hundreds of millions for not taking everything down

All big western countries are slowly but surely move into semi authoritarian states with fake democracy now. It's been proven again and again democracy only works under homogeneous white states but since whites are refusing to reproduce and these developed western countries need 3 world workforce your precious freedom of speech is the first thing to be removed.

big fines for not deleting "hatespeech" fast enough on social media

"Rockin' In The Free World"
There's colors on the street Red, white and blue People shufflin' their feet People sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it, any way I can.
Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.
I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand Under an old street light Near a garbage can Now she puts the kid away, Achmeds about to get a hit She hates her life, and what she's done to it There's one more girl that will never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.
Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.
We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler, Muslim behead man We got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.

german government says only 20% of germans oppose gay marriage. i wonder about that.
Ayden Roberts
Just a money extortion tactic to pay for refugees and silence dissidents at the same time
Without a massive overhaul to those systems, what is considered hate speech will slip through and will be sued for and the ones that are removed well thats just a bonus
Caleb Bell
What other market? No market will be able to offer a free speech platform.

I thought the bill was to remove online anonymity? Who's to say they won't ban Sup Forums in Germany? Or is this purely a "social media" thing.
Charles Torres
It's primarily directed at Faceberg / Instagoy /etcetera. They're far more concerned about our ideas spreading to the normies than with what we're saying on here.
Eli Baker
It's for companies and sites, who actively participate in Germany and target a German audience, for example by offer a German support etc.
The law is not passed yet, only the first instance approved it, furthermore the supreme court will probably not let it pass because a majority of our experts and even the left wing is against this law.
Benjamin Taylor

and miss out millions of shekels why wouldn't they do it? they already censoring.. Google censors their search results and yt videos for each country individually.

How about informing yourself first about german law - neither the homo one passed nor this - they can agree all they want in the parliament, they have to go to the BVG in Karlsruhe with it before it becomes law - and they always say noooooo.
Ryan Turner
I remember the times when i considered russia a third-world dictatorship for trying to censor VK or other things in its internet users.
Oh, how quickly we have fallen in as well.
Robert Sullivan
LOL isn't this fascist-tier violation of freedom of expression? This is what happens when people turn their backs on Christianity, kikes brainwash & control you, muslims attack you. Western Europe is fucking done for
Michael Martinez
fuck is this? You can't apply any laws at all to the internet, it is it's own free country.
Sebastian Collins
so if whats the line between hatespeech and free speech over there? If i say "A refugee raped my 16 yr old daughter and is not jailed because he claims he is also 16" with a mugshot of a clearly 28 yr old muzzie, will I get fined?
Jayden Thomas
tonight, we should take a hard look at the most popular german fbook pages and post some dank memes... :DDDD
Cameron James
this
Hudson Bailey
On cases that are less clear cut, the company has a week to decide weather to delete it or not.
That probably means that after reporting that, you have to add in the next post about how refugees are welcome and how the greatest strength of diversity now flows through you, and out of your raped daughters cunny.

Kikes controls the West's opinion and instill their agenda in the minds of the people through the controlled/bias media. The fact that they have successfully demonized Trump through media is an eye opener that these elites can control and manipulate public opinion Have you also noticed that: When you disrespect kikes=antisemitism When you disrespect muzzies=islamophobia When you disrespect Christians=freedom of speech
Well yeah. Brace yourself Russia, soon I'm coming over to enrich your country.
