Big concerns over a move planned by the EU to cut off free speech from non-liberal-left view points.

This move by the EU comes under the usual disguise of "combating hate speech", but it is essentially a move to cut off any voice that opposes the liberal-left viewpoint and their movement that could damage the progress of the EU and its agenda.


There are currently laws to tackle 'hate speech' and allowing hate speech to happen allows the process of tackling it to be much more effective.
But this move by the EU however is nothing more than removing free speech in order to stem any talk that counters their 'brainwashing'.


There is currently uproar by the left in how Trump has suppressed leftist press conference attacks by banning the likes of the BBC etc.
I don't see the outrage yet from the left agenda media regarding this very similar stem on free speech being conducted by the EU.

The guardian for example doesn't seem to have anything on this news.

It's so unfair that our elected officials aren't allowed to have their racist outbursts broadcast. Sad!
Instead those racists may now be able to hide behind a curtain of censorship with their views hidden from critical reply.
