Just in Time for the Holocaust: Eurocrats Censor Free Speech.

'In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.' So said the man called Blair who most recently stood for principles in British public life, that is to say Eric Blair, better known as George Orwell. In an age when the ludicrously transparent doctrine of multiculturalism is falling apart before our eyes, revealing the maelstrom of civil war that it was always meant to conceal, Eurocrats want to suppress any commentary they deem to be hateful, racist & offensive.

It is they, of course, who decide what is hateful, racist & offensive. These are the same Eurocrats who have invited millions of 'refugees' to swarm into European cities & rape defenceless women. These are the same Eurocrats who know, damn well, that the animals of the Islamic State are inveigling their way into our continent in order to unleash savagery & carnage upon us, eventuating in nothing less than the genocide of Europe's native population.

What is their big priority, however? Preventing the rest of us from discussing on social media the buildup of enemy forces in our midst & any other problem that these new arrivals' backward culture present. To an extent this has already been happening, with several libertarian figures discussing being censored on FaceBook & its founder even agreeing with Angela Merkel to suppress Eurosceptic posts. Your humble servant's own Google group 'The Counterjihad Community' has been suspended for weeks, with no reason given. Google is one of the collaborative organisations mentioned in this report from the Mirror today (hat-tip to Anne Marie Waters @AMDWaters):

EU gives Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft 24 hours to censor all 'hate speech'
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft will have to quickly remove 'racist and xenophobic' content or face the wrath of Brussels

The European Union has signed a deal with four of the world's biggest tech firms which will see "hate speech" deleted from social media in just 24 hours.

Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft and Google have all committed to new rules designed to "ensure that online platforms do not offer opportunities for illegal online hate speech to spread virally".

All four firms have committed to quickly analyse and remove content involving "public incitement to violence or hatred directed against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined by reference to race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin".

Vĕra Jourová, EU Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality, said, " The recent terror attacks have reminded us of the urgent need to address illegal online hate speech.

"Social media is unfortunately one of the tools that terrorist groups use to radicalise young people and racists use to spread violence and hatred.

"This agreement is an important step forward to ensure that the internet remains a place of free and democratic expression, where European values and laws are respected."

Eurocrats have insisted the laws are not about stifling freedom of expression, but making sure social media isn't used to spread extremist messages of hate.

But not everyone is buying this explanation.

Wood
Keith Porteus Wood, executive director of the National Secular Society, issued a statement condemning the hate speech laws.

He wrote: "The public incitement to violence or hatred directed against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined by reference to race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin will create a chilling effect on freedom of expression and will be misused to muzzle it"

Right-wingers have spent years claiming tech firms have a left-wing bias which shuts out their views.

Social media lit up with anger after the "code of conduct" was unveiled.

On Twitter, one person claimed Brussels was intent on "banning speech we don't like by calling it hate speech".

Another tweeter said he'd "rather be living in North Korea than the EU right now".

  1. "... but making sure social media isn't used to spread extremist messages of hate"? REALLY? How about clamping down of the hate-filled muzz-rat material being propagated (and no doubt soundly ignored by the self-appointed censors)?
