Facebook, Google, Twitter agree to delete hate speech in 24 hours: Germany
Reuters ^ | 15 December 2015

Germany said on Tuesday that Facebook, Google and Twitter have agreed to delete hate speech from their websites within 24 hours, a new step in the fight against rising online racism following the refugee crisis.

The government has been trying to get social platforms to crack down on the rise in anti-foreigner comments in German on the web as the country struggles to cope with an influx of more than 1 million refugees this year.

The new agreement makes it easier for users and anti-racism groups to report hate speech to specialist teams at the three companies, German Justice Minister Heiko Maas said.

"When the limits of free speech are trespassed, when it is about criminal expressions, sedition, incitement to carry out criminal offences that threaten people, such content has to be deleted from the net," Maas said. "And we agree that as a rule this should be possible within 24 hours."

My same phrase.

It has started.

(Notice who gets to determine what is “hate speech” ... and what is Muslim propaganda (er, conversations)?)

I remember when profanity was banned but opinions were not. How times have changed.

Exactly.

Facebook, Google and Twitter can share a new motto: Come plan your jihad in peace.

The Muslim invaders should be sent to prosperous Muslim countries where they can be dealt with properly by other Muslims.

How are they gonna take over the earth and enslave mankind if they don't spread out? It IS their LAW!

There’s a bill in committee in congress to make insulting Muslims (only Muslims) illegal. Comparable to a UN proclamation pushed by none other than Hillary Clinton.
