Germany to fine social media sites over "hate speech"

Germany just helped add 100,000 new American jobs to review all that content.

Trump 3D chess.

Germans are some of the best people you'll ever meet.

Germany hasn't had a legit shot at self-determination since WWI.

Holy shite! TD would be fricked.

Didn't the EU lay a massive fine against Google earlier this week? Followed by Merkel's "anti-protectionism speech" Yeah, like US's global corporations are gonna actually do that and destroy trillions of wealth. Seems to me they are attacking US corporations and revenues....

Such bullshite, so transparent what she's trying to do. Drive international business into Germany/EU and away from US. After all we have done for their country and economy...first chance they get they stab us in the back, and throw a shite fit when the US re-asserts themselves on the world stage. Such great allies.

Why?

These people weren't even born when the war happened. It's stupid and we should all move on.

Pretty much the exact opposite in this case. Leftist speech control, and they target Germany harder than any other place because of their past.

This is leftism gone unchecked, not the return of Nazism, make no mistake. They seem like the same thing because they're both heavily authoritarian.

Hate speech is a terrible thing to make illegal because it is so subjective.

This is retarded. The EU is closer to the next Soviet Union.

The Treaty of Versailles was the end of Western Civilization. We weakened Germany so much at the end of WWI that their choices eventually became:

1. Assert extreme nationalism and throw off the Weimar Republic (which we and England installed) and its oppressive penalties.

2. Submit to the westward expansion of the USSR.

Those are the two options Germany was left with.

If we had made more of an ally (and less of an "example") of Germany after WWI, we could have avoided WWII, and avoided the Cold War.

Instead, we were faced with an enemy in a hyper-nationalist Germany, and in destroying them, paved the road for Communist expansion over half of Europe for 50 years. This is also why we fought and died in Korea, and Vietnam, and had Rocky IV.

I don't know what color the sky is in your world, but the West is dying on our watch. "We" have weakened Germany and Europe to the point that they are committing suicide. The current trajectory is a Muslim/Nuclear France, and then eventually UK.

This. The EU countries are more concerned with allowing foreigners to come in and dominate their lands than they are with taking over other countries.
