ah, some frenchies got stabby too, let's see how that one goes

So the EU has decided to give itself power to force companies to remove a post world wide if one EU state deems it illegal

Germany? France?

The highest court in the EU did it.

Swedish Somalia?

Ah, The Belgian Empire of The Good.

Cuz an Austrian politician had hurt feelings cuz an article called her a traitor

Maybe she is.

Like wtf is that escalation.

She told facebook to take it down, the highest court in austria agreed with her and passed it to the EU and the EU is like. ''Lol if we think it's illegal it's gotta go world wide.''

Def's a good idea to give the court in one country the ability to control what everyone else sees.

EMPIRE

OF

THE

GOOD

~~Of Verhofstadt~~

Tomorrow's headline: Facebook and other major social media companies to stop operating in the EU effective immediately.

So now Facebook will literally operate on Sharia law. Whatever is illegal to say in the middle east will have to be policed in the entire world.

Yup

Seriously, people should be screaming at them for this

"Nope, sorry, I want to steal Jew Gold too much!" - Labour Party of UK

is article 11 and 13 already in effect? if not, it seems like the EU thinks they can't get rid of social media platforms fast enough

or online businesses in general

No

So each country has got 24 months to implement them from the day the bill was passed

And how they implement it is down to them, so some could be stricter others could be looser

October 31st, Come What May, Britain is out anyways.

So Fuck Those Articles.

*Imagine actually unironically believing the UK will leave the EU*

Considering that the EU is collapsing, everyone will be out eventually

How exactly is the EU collapsing?

A few contrarians here and there don't make a collapse

The EU has been able to strongarm the UK in all the negotiations

Totally collapsing /s

yeah exactly

Junker hasn't even sent any tanks to hungary yet

*Italeave.*

The Euro is facing huge issues from the economic problems of Italy and Spain, the whole of Europe is financially propped up by Germany and now their future economic stability doesn't look so strong

The big problem Europe has is even Greece brought down huge troubles on the whole thing, when it works it's fine but if problems arise small holes can sink the whole thing
