>>324616 No, this belongs here. If GG is considered hate speech, which it can be if people keep going by the SJW definition from wikipedia, then our EU brothers and sisters are potentially in trouble.

>>324617 Concur. This has major potential implications and may wind up impacting our operations directly.

>>324613 >>324617 >>324626 Could you imagine if they just up and deleted all of the EU Gamergate shit on mass? I know I'd be fucked that's for sure.

>>324616 mis-use of a /po/ meme, very GG-related though Title should read "EUROPE YES!"

So who gets to decide what counts as hate speech? If one site thinks Gamergate is hate speech and another doesn't, wouldn't that leave us in the same situation we're in now? Also why would a terrorist group care that Twitter doesn't like them calling people infidels?

>>324613 >Billed as a reaction to recent terror attacks, It is. The terrorists hate free speech and free expression, and Europe is giving them exactly what they want. Somehow they think this will curb terrorism, instead of showing them that violence and murder works.

>>324613 >Billed as a reaction to recent terror attacks Oh it is. After all, we can't have people bitching about Merkel's new voters she bought with her people's money.

>>324617 >>324626 The key thing with this (as with codes of conduct in general) - is interpretation. We've seen how sjs try to redefine meanings of words -a simple disagreement or difference of opinion can end up as 'flagged' + reported cos some snowflake interprets it as 'hateful content'. >>324642 Is right -who decides? Some stuff is just banter. As long as they can tell the difference, and see the context.

>>324642 Yeah, seeing who they put in charge of Twitter's report system, this could go belly up FAST. It also puts a hole in another strategy to not get banned on Twitter if people were shadowbanned or banned without a reason, and the account holder was outside the US it went through the EU servers. Which means it had to follow EU law- a person could request what data Twitter were tracking to ban the user, and if they didn't comply within 1 week, write to some fuck in Ireland who then sues Twitter for a large amount of money (turning jew against jew). However, under this I assume Twitter can just shrug and say "lol, hate speech" and you won't have a case. Hell, pushing it might just get you prosecuted as you "confess to hate speech"- or rather, are willing to speak out that you've been silence. We might need an OP for this. Spread awareness so that Twitter have a shitstorm and lose more stock, or even kick up alternatives to Twitter.

@techcrunch is the article's twitter handle, but they've not tweeted the article. $TWTR is twitter's stock code for shareholders to follow. I tweeted this: > http://techcrunch.com/2016/05/31/facebook-twitter-youtube-and-microsoft-agree-to-remove-hate-speech-across-the-eu/ Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft agree to remove hate speech across the EU… Within 24 hours. $TWTR Not overly negative (character limit) but anyone worth a damn will know hate speech = wrong think.

LOL Yerp has been a dumpster fire for how long? If you really cared about freedom you'd move to Texas.

>>324667 Speaking of Twitter…

>>324704 outdated, I don't think this addresses twitter's new need of a cell phone verification on account creation now. I had a dream of making 300+ Marvel themed twitter accounts shitposting to each other for followers and then using them en masse to bombard people who don't share my opinions but now it's too much work. Moreso than it already was.

>>324708 You don't need cellphone verification to create an account. I created two for work purposes a few minutes ago.

Bumped from p200 I'd forgotten about this - just a heads up - European Commission is publishing a report this week on how the companies mentioned in the op - fagbook twatter youtube and microsoft - have tackled 'hate speech' across their various platforms. http://archive.is/OclPw From the initial info in the link it looks like the amount of reporting differs depending on location in Europe.

>>324613 >and so all te countries left EU > the end if only

>>324645 >if you ban the terrorists, they win

A newspaper got a hold of Facebook's censorship guidelines http://international.sueddeutsche.de/post/154543271930/facebooks-secret-rules-of-deletion The other companies are probably doing something similar.
