FaceBook wants to remove more conservative content until only the Deep State's lies remain so FaceBook is crying, "Oh Please don't throw us into that censorship briar patch!"

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

Fine moneys which will go back in the pocket of non profits NGOs supporting IsIs in Syria, no doubt...

"European standards over hate speech and offensive content."

In the decadent phase of Western Civilization, European tyrants have more and more authority to crush freedom of speech, and the European People lack the will to stop them.

I'm no fan of Facebook. They expelled me because they didn't like what I was saying.

One would think that the Facebook folks and the Brussels bureaucrats would love each other.

The US Constitution recognizes freedom of speech as a basic, inalienable human right, including the right to offend.

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

Exactly.

“the EU’s top court, which ruled that national courts in Europe can order online platforms to remove defamatory content worldwide.”

How were they planning to enforce such a ruling?
