Germany: Web giants pledge to delete hate speech in 24 hours Their position can be summed up thusly;
"To fight Fascism, we must become Fascists. "
These "Web Giants" need to be destroyed. They have too much power, and it needs to be kept away from such people.

Fourth Reich is already established. It is the EU. Smiley face armbands, but MANY of the National Socialist aspirations set into law. Control of speech among them.

People will still use them because “I keep up with my family” many on this site follow that line as well.

I wonder if quoting the koran would be considered hate speech?

The Germans have always been massively against free speech. It is human nature to want to ban speech that offends you. That is why it is so rare in the world.
Our Constitution and our Republic were founded on the principle that men cannot be trusted with power.

So Germany gets to impose its laws on the rest of the world, regarding free speech? And it chooses to do so in defense of Islam? They are dhimmis even before the Muslims have actually taken over the country.

Only if you don’t quote it in order to praise/ support it. If you quote it to prove some of Islam’s violent exhortations towards non-Muslims, or towards women of any kind, it’s “hate speech” , even though that’s what the book says.
