>The European Commission has today announced a partnership with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft in order to crack down on what it classes as “illegal hate speech” while “criminaliz[ing]” perpetrators and “promoting independent counter-narratives” that the European Union favours. A press release from the Commission this morning claims the new initiative has been set up “to respond to the challenge of ensuring that online platforms do not offer opportunities for illegal online hate speech to spread virally”.
>The move has been branded “Orwellian” by Members of the European Parliament, and digital freedom groups have already pulled out of any further discussions with the Commission, calling the new policy “lamentable”.
>The unelected, executive branch of the European Union (EU) released a “Code of Conduct” today that “includes a series of commitments to combat the spread of illegal hate speech online in Europe” developed “together with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft (‘the ITcompanies’)” who have “signed up”.

Why don't you start your own social media platform that's focused on "free speech" (aka. hate speech zone).

I would have no problem with this if it were actually equal.

How many cuck nations are there these days?
Caleb Campbell
I wonder how long these treacherous despots hiding in a massive (and unelected) bureaucracy can keep this up?
Instead of solving economic problems, they beggar their member nations.
Instead of providing an open forum with equal national representation, they silence opposition and call it "hate-speech"
Instead of integrating the European peoples, they cloister them in ghettos and overrun them with violent third-worlders.
Name ONE advantage of this so-called "EU". Do we REALLY want to wait for this de facto terrorist organization to develop a MILITARY??
Kayden Smith
Free speech doesn't exist if a random cuck from canada (or the EU in this case) can just label things he doesn't like as "hate speech"

But have fun "correcting" the "quintessentially German man" right before he saws your head of with an EU regulated steak knife.
Jackson Barnes
Yes it is retard, having opinions people find offensive or hatefull is what free speech is all about, it's not there to protect people who say the things the goverment and most people agree with.

I'm sure "Wow, The Jewish people sure have a lot of power" will be hate speech with "kill all white people, exterminate white babies, rape white women, gas white men" will be the progressive counter point
Oliver Sanchez

>A French Jewish youth group, UEJF, sued Twitter, Facebook and Google in Paris this month over how they monitor hate speech on the web. In the course of about six weeks in April and May, members of French anti-discrimination groups flagged unambiguous hate speech that they said promoted racism, homophobia or anti-Semitism. More than 90 percent of the posts pointed out to Twitter and YouTube remained online within 15 days on average following requests for removal, according to the study by UEJF, SOS Racisme and SOS Homophobie.
All we have to do is shout those things at every opportunity, while making "air quotes".
Owen Ward
Who decides what is and isn't hate speech?

Correct me if I am wrong but I do not think European countries enacted things similar to the first amendment.

When that happens, I'm still going to be the race-realist, economic conservative I've always been.
I will miss you all though.
Ryan Collins
no such thing as hate speech, you are either allowed to say as you please, or you are trapped
what are you going to do when muslims in your country start demanding laws against gays? they'll say don't you touch our holy books or we'll call the hate speech police
what are you going to do once you've created that trap for yourself?
Alexander Smith
Don't they already remove comments like that?

Bububuh-but that's HATE SPEECH!
Oliver Lee
If a leftwing politician has ever said anything bad about the Tory party, they are encouraging hatred of Tory voters, and therefore should be prosecuted.
Lets do this.
Christian Baker
It won't last to long. They are falling in to the same trap as the BBC. For years now the BBC has been pushing a pc agenda. It's reached such a pitch you can predict what they are selling within a few minutes watching, it's always the same stuff. They got away with it for a long time, but now people are turning off. Not only that but not paying licence fees that the BBC depends on. People are not stupid, you can only fool them so long, then they walk away and find something else. Twitter, Google, Facebook, are all replaceable.
Jaxon Hernandez
We have like 100 threads about this already.

Demand American-style negative rights or you have absolutely nothing and there is no point talking about anything. By American-style negative rights I refer to government restrictions without criterion. Once you have the idea that government is a friendly demon that grants wishes, once you have that criterion, your legislation is one long squabble over criteria and their redefinition. And the government always wins every round of that squabble, just like Mephistopheles always gets Faust's soul.
Kayden Brooks

>When the minister of defense here called out muzzies Dancing in joy after the attacks he got sued for hate speech....
The scrap defines rules how the companies should hire external civil society organisations (CSOs), and train them to prevent the rise of "hate speech" online. > George Soros . jpg
In close collaboration with the European Council, they will also develop "counter-narratives" (= propaganda) like muh not all muslims and refugees are welcome.
However, the companies are "encouraged" to raise awareness of their users and to encourage them to snitch "suspicious activities".
Great!
The paper does not define, what "hate speech" means at all.
Companies like Facebook and Twitter are monopolies. They can define their own definition of "hate speech" and basically bypass the jurisdiction of the European member countries and their constitutional rights.
