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. http://www.itv.com/news/2016-06-01/internet-hate-speech-to-be-blocked-within-24-hours/ |

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

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. Edited by Freaks, Jun 2 2016, 02:31 PM.

Example: "Bernie Sanders is a Socialist Jew." Is this hate speech? |

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. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

Free speech means death to leftism. |
