Germany isn't exactly Europe's shining jewel of freedom and democracy either.

Yeah... but they don't keep coming up with bone-head ideas and then conning the rest of Europe into believing it's a good idea... the whole NAZI thing was kind of a downer.

Yeah, this is going to turn out well, real well, isn't it? I can see myself disappearing from social media inasmuch the people who decide what is hate speech, generally hate my speech

That just prompted a GREAT idea. So we could require everyone to wear an electronic device with speech recognition capability connected to a shock collar. Every time anyone utters one of the words deemed inappropriate, they get a mild reminder that this is not OK. A monitor would keep tract of how often inappropriate language is used and the intensity of the shock would increase with each use.

So words like "conservative", or "freedom of speech", or "2nd Amendment" would cause death by electrocution?

Who decides what's acceptable?

Ahhh that's the $64,000.00 question. Who gets to decide what's inappropriate and when. Kinda reminds me of George Carlin's Seven words you cannot say on TV.
