“The recent terror attacks have reminded us of the urgent need to address illegal online hate speech,” Vera Jourova, EU commissioner for justice, consumers and gender equality, said in a statement.


Yet they rarely ever prosecute muslims for hate speech, but often prosecute non-muslims for hate speech when they point out that Islam is a violent religion committed to conquering the world.

It will all backfire

The whole scheme has the 'look and feel' of prior restraint. Might take years for that determination; part of the plan.

Yes; but they just want to muddy the water for the election.

Just look at Lois Lerner & co.

Most elections are very close; if just a few stay home in each precinct...

This could be a very different year though. If the Donald does very well, we could very well see a possible landslide. Just saying.

No criticisms of Fags, Trannies, Mohammadans and leftists. Criticisms of Christians, Jews, Straight People and Conservatives A-OK and expected.
