Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg hailed on Friday France’s efforts to regulate hateful content online as a model for the European Union after meeting French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.

“I’m encouraged and optimistic about the regulatory framework that will be put in place,” Zuckerberg told reporters at Facebook’s Paris headquarters. “It’s going to be hard for us, and there’s going to be things in there that we disagree with. That’s natural.” […]

A report commissioned by Macron published earlier on Friday recommends increasing oversight over the world’s largest social media network and allowing an independent regulator to police the efforts of large tech companies to deal with hate speech. …

Macron probably wants to shut down citizen protests.

The only speech-code that respects freedom is no speech-code.

At Facebook a couple times per years you have to get a peer evaluation from 5 people. They grade you on a scale of 1-5 and if you get a certain number of 3 or less, then you get fired.

This means at FB people are constantly coming up to you with this friendly but EERY atmosphere, a bit like you had with that Amway guy, a realtor, a Scientologist, or maybe a recruiter.

It SEEMS friendly at first, but then, before you learn the truth, there’s something more and more creepy about them, you know..?

Like “WHAT is this guy AFTER..?”

Facebook is like that cuz they’re all constantly trying to recruit people who will fulfill that stupid Peer Evaluation thing they have there.

It’s a reallllly creepy place, creepy CEO.

Zuckerberg is all wrapped up in European style. He’s another NWO globalist wannabe leader.

I studied under a Jewish expert on constitutions. He drafted many Third World constitutions. Because of the Jewish disaster under Hitler, he included a provision outlawing any party which promotes ideas inconsistent with the rights granted in the constitution.

Again and again dictators came to power and used his provision to outlaw the opposition.

Very similar.

Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

— Communist Goal #12
Perhaps the error is putting it in the constitution instead of in legislation. Not that it has ever been put into legislation in the USA, of course.

I’m sure hate speech in any European language will be dealt with instantly. I suppose they don’t have the technology to monitor Arabic. Or feel that it would be, you know, rude to do so.
