Be german

>be german
>get fined 50 MILLION EUROS for (((illegal))) news
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

?

Thats actually an issue here.

for a time i thought it was goebbels in the thumbnail
would be cool if it was

imagine goebbels doing the modern day fake news alt-right and getting fined

Europe is such a fucking embarrassment

They just keep digging themselves deeper.

I would get the fuck out Germany as quickly as possible if I were a German. Serious big brother shit here.

I can see at least 100 ways in which this shit is going to be used in an authoriarian way.
Fuck these people, holy shit.

i think fake news is cancerous and definitely afflicts America and Europe but I don't think it should be a criminal offense, especially if its on normiebook

>HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG DUDE HELICOPTERS LMAO DUDE PURGING LIBERALS/LEFTISTS/EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME LMAO
>w-what are you doing stop that's censorship free speech :((((

it literally is censorship, you stupid cuck

Fucking kill yourself

no censorship implies all information
this is just categorization

if they ban parody or some such then it's censorship

It's about fining Facebook and not Germans, though.

Maybe there is no overlap between the people who want lefties thrown out of a helicopter and the people who oppose fining the opposition.

>amerisharts are butthurt because their """news""" website run by macedonian teenagers are going to be fined

Soon

could be that. I've seen kind of a split in the aut-right between larping fashies and "classic liberals"

Not an argument.

You're right, Germany doesn't have the codebase to be relevant on the internet to a significant degree.

Can't penalize German tech companies if there are none.

>parody
you mean lefty """news"""

Yep, right. Not even mad because I'm working for Red Hat GmbH, a 100 % subsidary of Red Hat, Inc., and I'm completely fine with this. I get to work for a US company (so it actually has money and is relevant) while getting to stay in a civilized country. Best of both worlds.

>BUT MUH FREEZ PEACHES!!
Get fucked rightards

ugh

...

KEK

Why do Germans hate freedom so much?

I don't want such a country leading the EU to be honest.

>mfw germany imposes media control on all european countries
>"don't worry, the EU will vote on what is prohibited"
>Germany pays up her voting block to get everything Merkel doesn't like banned

You clearly did not understand the article. It's more like:

>be Germany
>fine social media companies for 50 million
>companies overwhelmingly based on the US

only sharia allowed news are legal now

Maas is his reincarnation
(satire)

Goebels is dead.
