It really hasn't been a good 10 years or so where freedom of speech and expression is concerned.
Its vulnerability to censorious tyrants has never been more evident.
It's at the point merely stating it's under threat may be taken to be 'hate speech'.
It's Brave New World.
Don't take it from me. Here:
"The European Union’s highest court ruled Thursday that nations can order Facebook to remove content from its platform worldwide.
Austrian politician Eva Glawischnig-Piesczek brought the case after Facebook rejected her calls to remove a 2016 post by a user who called her a “lousy traitor of the people.” The unnamed Facebook user posted the comments alongside a news article from the Austrian news website oe24.at about Glawischnig-Piesczek’s Green Party policy on refugees. The post contained a headshot of Glawischnig-Piesczek and could be viewed worldwide...."

"....Facebook criticized the ruling. “It undermines the long-standing principle that one country does not have the right to impose its laws on speech on another country,” the company said in a statement.
EU regulators have been trying to curb the power of tech giants operating in the 28-member union.
Glawischnig-Piesczek called the ruling “a historic success for human rights against web giants.”
Calling her a 'corrupt oaf' and getting that removed is a 'human rights' success in her mind. A corrupted mind indeed.
In case it isn't clear, the EU is saying calling a parasitical politician 'corrupt' is 'hate speech'.
Justin is creaming his pants with this decision.

Like I said, Brave New World. We have to censor speech in order to save it!
She's a commie. Like the rest of the EU which is clearly infested with one too many socialists.
Unfortunately, we see this troubling trend in Canada too. Justin has been going after Facebook over 'hate speech' as well. It's probably why he gave media $500 million. That is, to bribe them into playing nice.
To its credit, Facebook initially refused and their response was appropriate. Alas, they got a lesson in why they shouldn't ever lay in bed with the government because it will one day snap its neck.
Petty and meek minds rule over our lands.
And they absolutely are looking to muzzle speech just like they do want to take the guns away from Americans.

THIS is an actual example of racism and can't really be disputed.
