They are now introducing &quot;hate-crimes&quot; here in the EU. This punishes there mere act of publicly saying or writing a hateful comment. (non threatening, non endorsing or inciting criminal acts)<p>If people take offence, you will be persecuted. So it&#x27;s a great law to further tighten the control over what can be discussed and what can&#x27;t.<p>And if that wasn&#x27;t enough, our government now allows NGO&#x27;s and other non state organisations to police Facebook and other social media to prevent and contain types of thoughtcrime that haven&#x27;t been yet criminalised.<p>No approval from a court needed, some privately funded NGO will in future decide for us.
