With the exposure of the Deep State criminals, the EU is "forcing" FaceBook to remove more content deemed hate speech. Whatever is "forced" upon FaceBook in the EU is then rolled out to the US. The Deep State's tech giants are accelerating their censorship efforts. :(
We need regulation that is the exact opposite of this. They should be regulated like utilities and strictly forbidden from in any way discriminating against any but clearly illegal speech. That means clearly illegal in the US. They must not be allowed to impose foreign standards of censorship on Americans.
BS!
The EU court has no jurisdiction outside of its own borders.
Bring on brexit

The entire concept of "hate speech" is stupid. The US Supreme Court should strike it down.
Exactly.

How were they planning to enforce such a ruling?
