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

Posted on 01/09/2016 11:12:15 AM PST by Lorianne

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."

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

Regarding male military-age Muslim refugees to the U.S., they've been invited and sent to a country led by a benevolent-to-Muslims Muslim who literally pays them to invade.

I didn’t hear about that but it’s good news. Were they wanting to form a committed of experts on hate crime?

The HERO ordinance (30+ page bill) was overturned by voters unanimously last November. The headlines were about trannies in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms but it was about far more than that.

A tribunal to challenge businesses, etc. when a member of a protected class raised a grievance.

But if you are a Muslim degenerate sexual molestor planning another big gang rape, no problem.

Exactly opposite now!

Foul hostile profanity is relished as the epitome of sophisticated free speech.

Doesnt matter. Breitbart will take up the slack.
I believe Breitbart will become VERY large after this happens. Maybe they can get the pop ups the hell off their site after that happens.

According to the Suckerbergian/Google/Twitter media and government, the problem isn’t Muslim men attacking and assaulting women across Europe in a coordinated, deliberate ATTACK on your culture and future survival, the problem is people who complain about it.

My suggestion to the women of Europe is lay back and learn to enjoy it, because it will get worse every day for the rest of your lives until you realize this is war.

So I assume that any captured videos showing there behavior will be deleted from YouTube as well.

The ministry of propaganda is in full swing.

1. Label dissent with political correctness hate.
2. Ban hate speech.
3. Isn’t it wonderful that everyone agrees, because no one is allowed to disagree?

Now you have fascism in the name of protecting feelings of the politically protected.

Communists had show trials to persecute those who dissented from the ‘state’ positions as well.

OUTgoing lesbian mayor A.Nus.Parker did what she could to investigate and prosecute the black pastors who opposed her legislation.
