    “When there is hateful content, content that calls – for example – for revolt, that also calls for killing and burning of cars, they will be required to delete [the content] immediately”

    He’s confounding different things here. Calling for revolt, calling for property destruction, hateful content, and calling for killing are not the same degree of thing. Lumping all these things together is harmful to democracy.

      Democracy? Have seen any democracy in France recently?

      If pitchforks and guillotines are no-no then they at least need immediate direct elections, it’s one or the other.

      Presumably all those things are illegal in the EU? So he’s saying illegal content will be required to be removed?

      People have forgotten how to organize without social media. Getting us used to planning our birthday parties through Facebook made us forget how to plan our riots.
