>mfw this "law" violates even the Kraut constitution and nobody bats an eye
Why do I feel like $57m isn't much for big social media companies?
>>131976043
Shall we get to work then?
>>131976043
The funny Thing is the racist Posters on FB now just put gigantic walls of text up on FB and post non-stop just to troll FB
>>131978460
This. Let's bankrupt every German social media company. Maybe then they will wake up.

Thank you /Noryayarchivebot.
>>131978341
the EU just fined google something like 2.5 billion dollars, which is 5% of their global revenue per day * 365

>10000x /pol/ autists spam swastika all over FB
>FB fined $571 billion
where were you when a Bosnian buddhist statue sculpting chatroom shut down FB
>>131978460
it almost sounds too easy.
>>131976043
Who cares?
Your a faggot if your using social media anyway.
>>131976043
>nyt
fake news from a failing media
Germany is fine, right lads? Riiight?
>>131978878
>a Bosnian buddhist statue sculpting chatroom
i gots an idea, move the servers to Poland. Problem solved.
>>131979224
for reals though what social media even operates in germany?
>>131979333
>burger slowly realizing that this is juste a ruse to extort monies from american kike companies
Awesome. It will be great when they do this in Canada as well they are the worst pieces of shit.
The Internet belongs to Americans and had its golden age in the 1990s when it was 98% Americans.
Can't wait until all the lame foreign trolls who target this board and every other site for people 18-35 from Canada, Europe, Australia are all thrown in prison.
>>131979488
Can't wait until trash like you are imprisoned for language like that. Your proxy can't help you.

Does this law apply to 4chan?
The law will take effect in October, less than a month after nationwide elections, and will apply to social media sites with more than two million users in Germany.
It will require companies including Facebook, Twitter and Google, which owns YouTube, to remove any content that is illegal in Germany — such as Nazi symbols or Holocaust denial — within 24 hours of it being brought to their attention.
The law allows for up to seven days for the companies to decide on content that has been flagged as offensive, but that may not be clearly defamatory or inciting violence. Companies that persistently fail to address complaints by taking too long to delete illegal content face fines that start at 5 million euros, or $5.7 million, and could rise to as much as €50 million.

: ^)
Heard this yesterday in radio. This country is going full retarded
>>131976043
Good, I hope they arrest and imprison all you racists on /pol/. /pol/ gives 4chan a bad name, the rest of us boards dont support racism and are against /pol/
>>131980189
If I report you when you say nazi stuff as illegal content will you go to jail now?
Cucked
>>131979152
No... we keep telling you: no.
Die Gedanken sind frei
>>131976043
Gotta pay for the rapeugees somehow. If the German people can't, then you can bet any international company that does anything in Germany to be taxed and fined to death.
This is just the start.
>>131981911
Ich bezweifle das
>/pol/tards start spamming racist shit at Germans in kikebook and Twitter
>Both companies fined trillions if dollars
>Money goes straight to the welfare checks for migrants
>Germany realizes they can afford to import more shitskins than ever
>/pol/ single handedly fill Germany with more mudslimes than ever before
>>131976043
HAHAHAHA
remember that freedom we kept talking about
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHA
oh man sorry faggots but you kinda deserve this for making fun of us for enjoying burgers and self defense laws.
>>131977265
Because it's current year and words like "free speech" and "marriage" are not definited in the basic law. Thus they follow the current interpretation. But who is the interpretor? well…
>>131985048
Enjoy your kinder eggs
Oh wait
I do this all the time on youtube
>>131980963
>>131980986
>>131985704
OHHHHH CRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGE
like a true ballless yurocuck you go straight for the kinder egg line
CLASSIC
chomp down on a nice kinder egg while achmed unloads his seed into your sisters clam
>>131979224
Oh, yes, 'based Poland' doesn't ban Holohoax denial or have dumb censorship laws, right?
>>131986602
hahhaha
>historical stance being illegal

>>131985704

No It isn't that was a long long time ago.
Germany is so not Chic

>>131979696
i guess they can just stop serving germany then.
>>131988059
That would be glorious.
>>131987279
I hope you choke on it.
>>131976043
>Pass law to ban racist speech on social media
>Fine Kikebook, Jewgle, Jewtube, etc. millions of Jewgold.
>Profit off the Jews!
It's anudda Shoah!
>>131988134
that's what I would do.
When you're a global company sometimes the loss of one country is actually less lost business than if you pander to them.
the next step would be ban those companies in the EU
the peasants can not live without distraction.
those politicians would be voted out right fucking quick if they were lucky, and then you would be back serving the people that want you.
>>131985704
>america makes a law that says you can't have plastic and choking hazard in food
>HAHA IM FUCKING KINDER I DO WHAT I WANT
>No, the law applies too everyone
>Shit
>EU makes the same law
>Does it apply to me?
>No, of course not, you are a rich German company you can do whatever the fuck you want
>But can you ban my competitors?
>Absolutely!
>>131978878
Germany then uses that $571 billion to import the entire population of the middle east
>>131976043
What a wonderful trash law.
It neither stops racism, bullying or terrorists' propaganda nor is it applicable bc of the technological landscape of the internet.
But that's not enough, it violates german constitution. In germany only a court/ judge can categorize posts or whatever as criminal. Not the police, porsecution department or a private company. This piece of nonsense will be flushed away soon by our federal constitution court. And by the way: since everyone uses google to do their jobs this country's economy would crash if alphabet would block it for two hours. We would starve immediately when delivery hero and amazon would block german traffic. And half of the population would commit suicide bc they lost all social interactions via fuckbook, twitter and pornhub.

RIP
AND
TEAR
>>131986661
Dude, that's the best censorship ever.
>>131988683
So if you say mean nazi stuff and I hit the report illegal content button do you go to prison?
POL is missing the point.
It's not about the fines or the need to delete within 24 hours.
The problem is: There is no actual definition of what can be considered hate speech.
And to make it even better, plans show that NGOs will be in charge of deciding what is considered hate speech and what is not.
That is the crazy part.
>>131981911
haha... not anymore, Hans...
Also
>911
>>131989351
Depending on the Nazi stuff, yes, but that is because of older laws.
This law makes it so that myspace has to be proctive in censoring "illegal" posts out of its own initiative. Otherwise myspace gets fined.
Our minister of justice, Heiko Maas claims it's only about deleting clearly illegal posts and not about censoring opinions. Personally I believe him. There is no way companys such as facebook would delete anything that could perceivably result in a fine instead of carefully checking with german lawyers first for every post.
>>131976043
just don't be a racist asshole and you won't have any problems.
>>131989820
so if i use the illegal content button to report nazi stuff (by a german flag poster) will 4chan ban me? A mod will need to weigh in on this.
>>131988434
this desu
>>131976043
What's stopping us from just trolling German goybook and ramping up fines for Facebook
>>131989481
This.
>>131989820
you make me sad
>>131979095
Sounds like a Trap because in some countries people get arrested for hate speech
Huh. It would be totally devilish if some group spammed them with ""hate speech"" resulting in the banning of said group on germany... Will some group do it...?
What happens if Facebook decides not to pay?
Will Merkel put up a firewall restricting access to facebook and show milions of users how antidemocratic she really is?
I hope the social medias call her bluff.
>>131976043
They doing this so websites ban comment sections as the risks aren't worth it
>>131977265
No, it is in line with the German Constitution. First line of Constitution is:
> Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar. Sie zu achten und zu schützen ist Verpflichtung aller staatlichen Gewalt.
> Human dignity is inviolable. All state power is directly bound to guarantee these basic rights.
I'm really happy that so many internet companies operate from the USA and are protected by Trump's appointed judges.
Fuck you, Merkel, you disgusting Stasi-pig.
>>131990598
Germany bans it, normies collapse screaming, politicians who supported this all lose their next elections.
>>131989820
Why aren't you questioning how "words" can be illegal in the first place? You're mind is broken. It's sad.
Germany and America - similar heritage, similar religion. Both very Germanic, both very Protestant (relative to most European countries).
So why are they diametrically opposed when it comes to freedom? They're essentially made from the same stock. Beautiful WASP stock. Is the difference just historical?
>>131978878
You know, with proxies and stuff this could actually happen now
it'll be the new swatting
