But the laws are different in different countries ( duh!). Antisemitism isn't illegal in the US, but is an actual crime in France just to give one example.

- cato_the_elder 5y agoRight, that's a contentious area. The extent of jurisdiction of e.g. France over FB seems very nebulous to me. And even then, I'm sure they have a court process to determine who's guilty of "hate speech" (or thoughtcrime or whatever), and FB is capable of challenging the cases or complying with the rulings for French residents. I assume blanket prior restraint is frowned upon in freer countries of the world. There are efforts to pass Draconian laws to limit free expression online though [1].
