Internet hate speech 'to be blocked within 24 hours'

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft have agreed to block illegal hate speech from their European services in less than 24 hours.

The new European Union "code of conduct on illegal online hate speech" states that the four internet companies will review reports of hate speech in less than 24 hours and remove the content or disable access if necessary.

This latest move is in response to a surge in antisemitic, anti-immigrant and pro-Islamic State commentary on social media.

illegal hate speech - According to the European Commision

Quote:
 
The IT Companies and the European Commission agree to assess the public commitments in this code of conduct on a regular basis, including their impact. They also agree to further discuss how to promote transparency and encourage counter and alternative narratives. To this end, regular meetings will take place and a preliminary assessment will be reported to the High Level Group on Combating Racism, Xenophobia and all forms of intolerance by the end of 2016.


If you support this - you might be a regressive

Abuse of privilege or even freedom brings on restraint.
Keep that in mind.
It is a perfectly predictable response.

While I agree with you - there is also the government mandate.

Oh, I know. I find it abhorrent but that's the path they wanted to go down.

Seems much worse than any hate speech somebody could come up with anyways.

Free speech is a threat to the system
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

Free speech means death to leftism.
