I hope they too here in PH too much hate in politics. also I hope Facebook will make their platform to teach people to be intelligent.

    This so called "hate speech" is PURE and SIMPEL evil incarnate - bolsevik dictature. Read alla about it: Pedro Baños’s - How They Rule the World.

      I think the EU just wants US social media dominance out of the Euro market.

          You think by talking down to people you will win them over? This is the problem the left faces. So desperate for everyone to agree with you yet you're incapable of showing any civility or respect.

          That's why you guys want to censor everyone else, it's easier to put your fingers in your ears and ignore everyone then it is to listen to ideas you find "problematic". It's very disappointing. This will be my final response to you as it appears I'm wasting my time trying to reason with you

                Stop going to your brainwash chan sites and Reddit. Stop gulping Jolt. Get out of your basement once in a while. Then you won't come across as illiterate when commenting on things on the internet.

                  AnonD-762416, 06 Jul 2019Hate speech isn't an opinion. It is a crime.There is no such thing as hate speech. There is only free speech and you personally might find it hateful sometimes but peoples subjective opinion of what is offensive should not be forced onto others. How will you ever grow as a person if you don't ever hear different, potentially shocking ideas?

                  If the price of free speech is occasionally being offended then we should all be willing to pay that price. Government censorship of speech is dangerous. Today they might be censoring people you don't like but tomorrow it could be you, or someone you want to hear

                            this could be indeed used to curb free speech. it would be really difficult to define "hate speech" if we are to consider everyone's opinion. it has been proven time and again that laws applicable to real life will not always work online; the internet is a different realm altogether where the citizens of the world converge- no countries, no social status, no religion, and no gender. while the internet is not exactly the utopia john lennon imagined, we are on the way and what we need is a consensus between countries on laws applicable online so we can all live in peace.

                                  And what is treated as "hate speech"? Will it be used for censorship?
                                  For example, if i point out that Israel did some bad things towards the Palestinians, is it a "hate speech" and will i be labeled as "anti semite"?
