The European Union reached an agreement Tuesday with some of the world's biggest social media firms, including Facebook and Twitter, on ways to combat the spread of hate speech online.
Under the terms of a code of conduct, the firms, which also include YouTube and Microsoft, have committed to "quickly and efficiently" tackle illegal hate speech directed against anyone over issues of race, color, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin. The sites have often been used by terrorist organizations to relay messages and entice hatred against certain individuals or groups.
Among the measures agreed with the EU's executive arm, the firms have said they will establish internal procedures and staff training to guarantee that a majority of illegal content is assessed and, where necessary, removed within 24 hours. They have also agreed to strengthen their partnerships with civil society organizations who often flag content that promotes incitement to violence and hateful conduct. The European Commission and the firms have also agreed to support civil society organizations to deliver "anti-hate campaigns."

FLAGGED -- HATE SPEECH

They should be able to read minds in order to be fair about this. Of course, Free Speech as a basic human right also must be discarded.
Just like Stalin linked up with Pravda to combat Capitalist speech. And Goebbels linked up with German media to combat Jewish speech. Orwell would be proud.
Any criticism of government and/or government officials is “hate speech,” don’t you know?
Haters of hate speech are the good haters?
Geez, Orwell is turning out to be more prescient than ever imagined.
Any criticism of the raping leeching thieving Muslims would be another example of Hate Speech.
make no mistake, this is being done to protect the muslim invaders of Europe.
No speech will be tolerated in the EU that speaks out against the Muslim invaders.
“And Goebbels linked up with German media to combat Jewish speech.”

Your comment is noted, citizen. Disapproval of government action constitutes thoughtcrime. Doubleplus ungood.
They’re really worried about the right-wing uprising that’s taking place across Europe and now the leftists are going to crack down to try to stop it. The thing they don’t realize is that this kind of thing will just pour gasoline on the fire.
Because if you really want to motivate people then the first thing you have to do is PERSECUTE THEM.
Not hate speech. Stating facts about savages and their inhuman behavior.
They care nothing about stopping savages from slicing necks, raping, and murdering.
Hate speech=disagreeing with the party line on gays, Muslims, etc.
“Hate Speech” is a Marxist construct to control all information. The concept of “Hate Speech (determined by the State (LOL) or fascist CEOs) should be unconstitutional-—WHICH IT IS-—”Null and Void”.
Control of Words/Speech is control of thought/beliefs (and esp. is powerful on the children which leads to brainwashing only).
The reason why we have such an evil sodomite Marxist in the White House (satanist) is because we have destroyed Free Speech in the public square; actually, banned Truth in the public square and public skools which is unconstitutional.
Our children are now brainwashed into satanic beliefs/behaviors/worldview, because only Christianity was banned, as Satanism/paganism, Marxism, islam, and atheism were the only “faiths” allowed to be transmitted to our young children in the culture/public square and publik skools.
It amazes me that “thinking” parents can justify sending their vulnerable little precious children into an artificial institution of mass indoctrination (dehumanization factories) that are “public “education” systems to destroy Virtue formation in children (to collapse Western Civilization (Christian Ethics—US Justice System).
The destruction of Free Will and Individualism (self-reliance/mastering Reality/Real World and learning/embedding Self-Reliance).
The concept of the orphanage which is pure Marxism, which needs to erase concept of male/female and Mother/Father paradigm (Christianity) used to be reviled in Western Civ. We understood the necessity of male/female loving role models (biology) in relationship to morality and Common Sense formation in children.
But now we force all -day “kindergarten” (orphanage culture) for even 7 year olds (and we think it is GOOD to remove children from their biological family and put into these artificial “group think” factories to indoctrinate and warp.
The whole “system” of culture/government skooling, has to be destroyed if we are to flourish as a Western (free) Culture again.
As I grow in age, I realize that all the wars we have ever fought, or have threatened to fight, have been pointless.
For example, we should have let the Soviets overrun Europe. By now, they’d be free from the Soviets, and they would not be so quick to create a local fascist overreaching tyranny.

I’m almost inclined to agree with you.
I say that after having just gone to a very large Memorial Day ceremony and seeing hundreds of US soldier KIA gravesites from WWI through Iraq 2.
I cannot imagine the feeling of parent’s betrayal for the senseless loss of their sons, when they see “normalized” relations with communist Vietnam where we lost 53,000 sons, and our giving away Iraq and Afghanistan after sacrificing 6,000 soldiers there ten years ago.
This 5 minute veteran tribute video prose sums up best how our soldier sons pay the ultimate price for politician’s reckless ego and misjudgement.
Just a common soldier

hate speech=the truth. They cannot have the truth.
I said the same damn thing on FR a while ago, but then again I do not want to think all the allied deaths in saving Europe was all in vain though it is sure looking like it.
