- masklinn 8y ago> In France for example if you publicly deny the Holocaust you get to visit prison for some time. In theory, it's 1 year in prison and 45k€ (and it's denial of any recognised crime against humanity), same penalty as provoking racial, religious or ethnic discrimination, hatred or violence; however the maximum penalties (and prison time) are rarely reached e.g. well-known far-right asshole Alain Soral only got a 6k€ fine for publishing and selling a poster ruled denialist, defamatory and inciting religious hatred against jews back in 2014.
