Remember, if you label it "hate speech" you can ban anything on the internet.
And, if you label it fake news, you can ban it.
This is the socialist/communist party line. How to control free speech, you take it away.
the main stream media doesn't give a crap, well, until it affects them.....and it will.

GERMAN OFFICIAL WANTS $53M FINES FOR SOCIAL MEDIA HATE POSTS
BY FRANK JORDANS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN (AP) -- Germany's justice minister is proposing fines of up to 50 million euros ($53 million) for social networking sites that fail to swiftly remove illegal content, such as hate speech or defamatory "fake news."
The plan announced Tuesday marks a further step in Germany's attempt to impose its strict domestic laws against incitement on the free-wheeling world of online chatter.
Justice Minister Heiko Maas, a member of the center-left Social Democratic Party, said social media companies had already taken voluntary steps to crack down on hate crimes that have resulted in improvements.
"This isn't sufficient yet," Maas said, citing research that he said showed Twitter deletes just 1 percent of illegal content flagged by users, while Facebook deletes 39 percent.
