Gemany - €50M hate speech fines for social media firms

You don't get it, do you?
Implanting millions of Muslims in Europe and banning resistance will end up in a massive (religious) civil war with tens, if not hundred of millions, massacred. You don't believe that fairy tale that Islam is religion of peace and Muslims will stay with their hands down, eh?

It is stupid to let wolves into the sheep's herd or a bull in a china shop.

 

OP

"€50M hate speech fines for social media firms"

All grist for the ECB mill? I'll bet the EU jobsworth who thought that one up (the fining of international companies) got a nice big bonus?

 

I don't think it's about the money, cerberus. It's about banning people from speaking their mind (l.g. Islam is evil and misogynistic, Muslims are savages who wipe their butts with their hands, migration is wrong, globalization is mean, etc).
And if they can additionally make some money on it, hey, that's even better. Win-win situation.

 

I rest my case, m'Lud!

 

I think that was entirely coincidental - Brenda wouldn't have the faintest idea what the European Union is, never mind what its silly flag is like.

 

Germany?

It's designed to shut up the neo nazi scum who regularly imagine they're can spread like a human disease throughout Europe, especially when they can peer over the pond and see a filthy fascist in the WH winking at them.

Needless to say the rancid white supremacists here will be whining for all they're worth.

Probably by utilising gentle words to describe their poor, set upon selves, that's their usual, amateurish tactic.

"I'm only expressing my opinion that immigration needs looked at!!!!" as they quote Stormfront and Brietbart.

 

If ever there was a neurosis-induced recondite way to get at The Donald this has to be it??

 

It's just banning hate speech.

Not even WWII was over a 100 million. If anything is a fairy tale, it's this.
And the appeal of a massive war if you're not allowed to rant your nazi propaganda... lol

 

It's just banning hate speech? Defined as? Defined by whom? It's really subjective. This law is too.. Broad. Far far too broad. I personally do believe that on a case by case basis persons or entities that promote violence on social media platforms should have their accounts banned and in some cases prosecuted.

Like here in the states. The progressive left runs amok on social media inciting real violence. The far right does it too but there's so many less of them it has less impact. We see the results. Both sides doing violence and neither is acceptable.

We moderate people must shut down all of this radical crap. We are the majority. By far.

This law though is putting far too much power into the far left government of the EU simply because they can apply their personal criteria. The sheer scope of it I don't think is dawning on people.

Let's give it 6 months and see how it's implemented. I see many more ways it could be abused than it being helpful.

 

Germany has laws against hate speech because the Nazis misused the unlimited right of free speech. The new law extends the laws to online platforms with more than two million users and an independent and neutral committee will judge the cases. Facebook was given two years to manage the postings according to german law on its own and they did nothing. Volkswagen had to learn to obey laws in other countries just as Facebook and Co. must now.

 

So, you would only do something when the nukes start going off, eh? Guess what, then it would be too late.
Yes, I want to rant my Nazi propaganda, I want to be free to say Islam is a great evil. Why should only Muslims be allowed to rant their hate speech towards infidels (us)?

 

You don't know what the definition is, who defined it, but you already claim the law is "far far too broad".
You're not making any sense. lol

 

Muslim immigrants got nuclear bombs? That is your argument to support hate speech?
lmao!

Well, we had that before, and that did start WWII.

 

I agree in that if they are going to become this anxious to exploit social media financially, social media should simply withdraw from providing service to the country.

Let the politicians explain it to the German people.
