    Nope, the EU is all in favor of free speech, this site won’t be banned, US Americans can publish any brainfarts they want. Don’t fall for trump’s propaganda. (Within Europe, hate speech can lead to legal repercussions, laws do not allow eg the harassment of children, women, minorities, politicians, or (very limited and well defined) attacks against our constitutions or democracy; that’s where freedom of speech may, in extreme cases, end).

      If the site is meant to be a mechanism to circumvent policy with no other use case, it will probably get banned.

      Thats not “free speech”, and free speech us only a protected right up until it starts to impact other human rights.

      People seem to forget that free speech is not the only protected right, and that in most countries its definitely not #1 on the priority list, usually several other rights come before it.

      The article said Germany removed 14k things from social media. Many of which were to protect Israel I’m sure. There are no good guys here.

        Which 14k things? That’s pretty obscure. Don’t fall for trumps propaganda; like in the USA (and many many other countries) hamas is a labeled a terrorist organization, and like in the USA, anti-semitism isnt allowed in most EU countries. Hate speech against minorities is actively removed, but if I open my front door and shout : the Israel government is killing Palestinians, nobody on Germany or the eu will prosecute me. Again, dont fall for trumps narrative, he’s a liar.

          It’s in the linked article.

          And Germany’s laws are well known to be twisted to go after Israel protesters on bad faith as you should be well aware. Their system is shamelessly corrupted for the worst people in the world. And that’s not a new thing either, from the Shah to now, Germany has suffered from bad politicians, and they are about to throw the entire republic to a far right by sucking so much worse every cycle, and that far right wing in league with the US and Russia will try and fix elections just as those countries are doing or planning on doing.

            It’s a pity, you have locked yourself into a USA/Trump‘ narrative. Just come to Germany. I protest for Palestine, completely freely. Don’t fall for superficial propaganda it doesn’t pay off
