EU may force FB to censor content that makes fun of Austrian mayors

[America Needs R'hllor]

This is outrageous and shows exactly why the EU is a joke in everyway. Besides FB is headquartered here in the US, the EU cant force anything on FB unless they wanna get in a dispute with the US government as well.


At this point the only reason I find for keeping the EU is economic reasons, if there was a way to do Brexit without hurting the UK in the long run economically I would support that wholeheartedly . I have nothing but contempt left for the EU.

Lol, a few generally minor and (especially in this case) inflated mistakes of some beaurocrat or other is just not worth all the peace and prosperity! But it doesn't matter what you think. You don't feel all the positive effects of the EU, and don't care to understand them. It's a good thing you're not a European and your contempt doesn't matter.

While i tend to agree with you, Israeliguy, you arent european either and dont feel any of the negative effects of the E.U.. I hate to admit it, but the american posters do have one point: the EU wants to do too much, to the point of excessively burdening our lives with regulation. When i went to the eye doctor yesterday, for instance i had to sign a long form that i allow the doctor to use my medical information-due to a EU data protection regulation. Completely stupid obviously. And there are many more examples like this (Article 13....).

Overall the positive benefits of the E.U. outweigh, as you said, and the american posters who think its becoming a eurofascist dictatorship are crazy obviously.

Very fair. I do feel like the mindset of Americans is very different from Europeans and Israelis both and makes them much more likely to view the EU as what you said. It's a country where freedom of speech is valued above all else so much that nazis can freely march in the streets and practically incite genocide without any disturbance. A legitimate view, but a more restrictive view is sometimes (though not to the extent the EU is often going) legitimate too, and some Americans can't seem to comprehend this. Same for their view on sovereignity.
