2. The EU can compel publishers to remove content they deem "hate speech." [2] If you look up the EU's definition of hate speech, it actually sweeps broadly into what the US would call protected speech. The EU as an entity does not prohibit any speech. The EU, at most, publishes directives, which are implemented as laws and implementation is up to the specific countries. Some coutries deem, for example, Holocaust denial a criminal offense. You can argue if this is good or bad. But let me assure you that Europe is not that hellhole where you not dare say anything. England, with its insane libel laws may be an exception, but soon it's anyway no more part of the EU.
