These laws are extremely vague, and already applied very selecively. For instance, if you look at Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech, the European Comission admits that they want the websites to perform the function of the judge, jury, executioner:
"Isn't it for courts to decide what is illegal?
Yes, interpreting the law is and remains the responsibility of national courts. At the same time, IT
companies have to act in line with national laws, in particular those transposing the Framework
Decision on combatting racism and xenophobia"
So if you're a website operator, and it has the text that says "slaves, obey your masters", should that be deleted? Why or why not?
What about "do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man, she must be quiet"?
