Mhm. Shitting on radical intersectionalists will be illegal. But them shitting on the average European won’t be. Example: “Kill all the Jews, white power!” will be a hate crime. “Kill all white men, girl power!” won’t be. Or “Kill all cis men, trans power!” or something along those lines. Not like those kinds of statements haven’t been thrown by people who have suffered no repercussions for that.
Ah well, this is how language creoles are brought into existence. I’m sure we’ll have our own “let’s go Brandon” soon enough.
The aim is to create EU-wide, cross-border online-and-offline criminal legislation.
The “Grand Remplacement” theory is explicitly cited on page 14 as a mainstay of cross-border hate speech.
The Commission also cites research by the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) on potential cross-border contamination through online speech.
EU is trying hard to ruin what’s left of it’s image as a reputable organization
So looks like Charlie Hebdo murderers have achieved their goals. Keep up the good work !
The Danish opt-out from Justice and Home Affairs is feeling quite good right now.
Looks like EU is further cracking down on whatever free speech some of its members have retained. Hopefully this insanity will stop soon or the union will first lose whatever reputation it has left and then collapse.
Does this really change a thing? Free speech America style doesn’t really exist in Europe thank to WW2.
The article is hella short.
And at the same time EU takes illegals who greatly increase crime.
“Today’s initiative is an important step towards a more effective European response to such threats against pluralism and inclusiveness.”
Sounds good at first glance, but the final EU legislation will probably make anti EU and nation state support illegal.
I won’t even bother to read the comments on this one
What’s the argument for this needing to be done at an EU level rather than leaving it at the national level?
Who defines “hate speech and hate crimes”?
EU back at it again
Good
Finally some good news
This is very vague, these days anything can be ‘hate speach’ ‘.
You guys are going down a dangerous path.
EU totalitarism increases every day, nothing new. I just wish we would leave like UK did.
They can fuck right off
One thing the EU must do, is make apartment or house applications anonymous. Nobody wants to rent a darker looking fellow with a non european sounding name anything, it doesn‘t matter if he or she is successful, well integrated, decent, clean, respectful, well spoken, has good credit, or trust worthy. As soon as they see your face or read your name it‘s an instant rejection.
Or how about we don’t mess with free speech. That shits important, yo.
Kill this with fire. The speech part at a minimum.
This is the kind of shit that will eventually lead to the collapse of the EU. The EU just doesn’t know when to stop, they want more and more control over member countries and less and less freedom.
Governments:
Reality can be whatever I want.
Good, every person deserves to be treated like human beings, not ‘monsters’.
I find it quite ominous to be honest. It can be a serious threat to freedom of expression.
Well this sounds Orwellian as all fuck. At least most of the Americas have got free speech right.

Also, what constitutes “hate speech” exactly?

For those interested, [here’s Ursula von der Leyen’s official communiqué to the European Parliament](https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/default/files/1_4_178545_annex_eu_crimes_en.pdf) on extending the list of EU crimes to hate speech and crime.
