Vera Jourova is the current vice president of a body ironically called the "European Commission for Values and Transparency."
Recently, while speaking at a World Economic Forum (WEF) panel, Jourova stated that the United States will "soon" have "illegal hate speech laws." (Hate speech laws themselves should be illegal and, in fact, are in the United States, due to protections afforded Americans by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Unfortunately, this hasn't deterred Democrats, wokesters, and other would-be authoritarians from trying to ban speech they find distasteful and/or against their interests.)
The Daily Caller recently reported that Jourova "participated in Tuesday's WEF panel on 'the clear and present danger of disinformation,' alongside former CNN Host Brian Stelter, Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger and media executive Jeanne Bourgault."
Stelter and Sulzberger on a panel bemoaning "disinformation"? That would be akin to putting Michael Moore and Joy Behar on a panel chronicling the evils of obesity. Would the WEF ask Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping to head a panel on international relations and "how to treat one's neighbors"? On second thought, in United Nations fashion, it probably would.
No sooner had Nostradamus ECVT vice president Vera Jourova predicted that the U.S. would soon embrace hate speech laws than Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) came along and proved her right. Jackson Lee just introduced a bill in the House dubbed the "Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023," or LAWS Act. Get it?
Jackson Lee's bill would criminalize "hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group." (Hate speech that vilifies white people would still be perfectly acceptable, as it's not hate speech. Duh.)
Her bill, were it to become law, would certainly be used by Democrats, the Deep State, social...

“Which Laws Govern Hate Speech?
In the United States, there are no laws against hate speech. Due to rights protected by the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment, a person can say just about anything he or she wants to another person or group. By itself, such speech is allowed to take place without penalty under the law.
A person hurling insults, making rude statements, or disparaging comments about another person or group is merely exercising his or her right to free speech. This is true even if the person or group targeted by the speaker is a member of a protected class. According to U.S. law, such speech is fully permissible and is not defined as hate speech.
Under the First Amendment, American citizens have the legal right to say whatever they’d like to. While much ado is often made about so-called “hate speech”, no satisfactory definition for this type of speech exists within the confines of the law. Not to be confused with “hate crimes,” a person’s speech does not affect another person’s physical condition or personal property and is, therefore, not punishable by law.”
