Big win for free speech in Europe

🚨BREAKING: The European Commission has announced that it will WITHDRAW a proposal to criminalise “hate speech” under EU law. The initiative would have placed “hate speech” and “hate crimes” in the same category as human trafficking, terrorism, drug trafficking and organised crime. The proposal required unanimous consent, but several member states BLOCKED the initiative in the Council due to free speech concerns. This is a major victory for freedom of expression. But the battle is not over yet 👇

knowing the EU they will just try over and over until it works for example they will make it so absolute majority is required to NOT pass something. Then they vote on it 1 day before vacations, when most politicians aren't there to vote, aka no MAJORITY AGAINST anymore

HUGE win in the EU, where free speech it is under more attack than in the US.

They'll do it through the backdoor. I don't trust these thugs one bit.

Worth knowing what this did and didn't do. The Commission's Nov. 4 annex withdraws its 2021 plan to add "hate speech" to the EU's list of Europe-wide crimes, because the 27 governments never agreed. No speech law was repealed. The same annex says Brussels is now weighing a new online "incitement to violence and hatred" directive, and national laws still bite: Finland's Supreme Court fined MP Päivi Räsänen in April over a 2004 church pamphlet. Lenin ordered his 1922 speech crimes worded "in the broadest possible manner." Bolshevik 2.0 Part 8: Full breakdown: xitter.twitterapi.xyz/brianskellenger/status… – at Meridian, ID

There is no free speech in Europe anymore though. I guess it's something they can throw Europe's WeThePeople and say, "Look at us, we love free speech because we don't think mean tweets are the same as sex trafficking and blowing people up", but that's all it is.

The big win is that saying there's only 2 genders doesn't land me in jail on terrorism charges? Wtf

Meanwhile Australia is forging ahead with it's 'Digital Duty of Care' bill which is fundamentally the same thing under a new name. Fourth name for the same bill that's been rejected 3 times before!!

Which governments BLOCKED this totalitarian proposal developed by the fascists working at the EUSSR Commission? 🤨🤔 (Grok didn't know.)

Not really. They want a few years of wild west with AI scraping social feeds so they can then use the results to create a social credit system with pre-filled data and then prosecute and marginalize from there. Euro-fascism is getting tactical.

The EU have a track record ignoring votes. Expect the same criminalisation of speech under a different shape. Only the breakup of the EU and return to sovereign states will end authoritarianism.

Events will shape the future, and that future is looking increasingly uncertain for the totalitarian globalist bureaucrats.

What did they figure out all they were doing Was driving it up.
