Reuters, “Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Microsoft back EU hate speech rules,” 31 May 2016:

BRUSSELS - Facebook (FB.O), Twitter (TWTR.N), Google’s (GOOGL.O) YouTube and Microsoft (MSFT.O) on Tuesday agreed to an EU code of conduct to tackle online hate speech within 24 hours in Europe.

EU governments have been trying in recent months to get social platforms to crack down on rising online racism following the refugee crisis and terror attacks, with some even threatening action against the companies.

As part of the pledge agreed with the European Commission, the web giants will review the majority of valid requests for removal of illegal hate speech in less than 24 hours and remove or disable access to the content if necessary.

They will also strengthen their cooperation with civil society organizations who help flag hateful content when it goes online and promote “counter-narratives” to hate speech.

“The recent terror attacks have reminded us of the urgent need to address illegal online hate speech. Social media is unfortunately one of the tools that terrorist groups use to radicalize young people,” EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova said.

Germany got Google, Facebook and Twitter to agree to delete hate speech from their websites within 24 hours last year and even launched an investigation into the European head of Facebook over its alleged failure to remove racist hate speech.

“There’s no place for hate speech on Facebook,” said Monika Bickert, Head of Global Policy Management at Facebook.

“With a global community of 1.6 billion people we work hard to balance giving people the power to express themselves whilst ensuring we provide a respectful environment.”

The code of conduct is largely a continuation of efforts that the companies already take to counter hate speech on their websites, such as developing tools for people to report hateful content and training staff to handle such requests.

Twitter has suspended over 125,000 accounts since the middle of 2015 for threatening or promoting terror acts, primarily related to Islamic State.

The United States has undertaken similar efforts to entice the cooperation of tech companies in combating online radicalization, focusing on promoting “counter-narratives” to extremist content.

EU ministers had called for cooperation with tech companies to be stepped up after the Brussels attacks in March.

Jewish lobbyists, frequently the target of hate speech, welcomed the code of conduct.

     
“This is a historic agreement that couldn’t arrive at a better time,” said Dr. Moshe Kantor, President, European Jewish Congress.

The State Department hoped Poland could be a “laboratory for testing whether U.S. success in developing shale gas can be repeated in a different country.”

Until an Eastern European Intermarium can come into effect, Poland’s land and people are in a position to be compromised by people like Hillary, her corporate and YKW backing. Fracking is a dubious technology, destructive to farms, ground water and public health. The profitability of the technology is highly suspect, while cash strapped farmers find it hard to resist (if they can at all) the short term pay-off.

White Nationalists are shocked over the building of new mass migrant “transit zone” in Hungary despite all actions, including their own great wall, and despite all sage and despite all defiant talk.

TNO, “Shock over New Hungarian “Transit Center”, 30 May 2016:

Shockwaves have spread throughout Europe at the news that the Hungarian government—despite all its earlier promises not to facilitate the further nonwhite invasion of Europe—has now secretly agreed to build a new “transit zone” for invaders on their way to Germany.

The dramatic development only became evident this morning when construction vehicles arrived at the Hungarian border with Serbia—near the world-famous town of Ásotthalom—to start construction.

The mayor of Ásotthalom, László Toroczkai, rushed to the scene with his team to investigate the appearance of the vehicles, only to be told that they had been sent to start building a new “transit zone for migrants” near the town, directly opposite the Serbian village of Backi Vinogradi.

According to the New Observer’s sources, the construction crews said that they had been told to start clearing land for a new “transit zone” for “migrants” after “human rights activists had complained that the already existing transit zone at Roszke was too far for the migrants to walk.”

    48 of the 50 Great Escapists are buried here, at Poznan Cytadela

Buried here, at Poznan Cytadela, are The 50 Great Escapists (48 of them, anyway) whose ingenious feat of stealth engineering allowed them to escape what was designed to be an escape-proof prison camp - Stallag Luft III - as immortalized in the movie, “The Great Escape.” Steve McQueen’s motorcycle scene was fake, but…

The real story is even more fantastic in terms of the prisoner’s ingenuity - including: a tunnel entranceway through a false floor in a shower drain; support structure to uphold loose sand; fabricated air ducts; documents and civilian clothes..

                        How coincidental.

                        They said everything would be fine.  ..ho ho. I think I’m ready to go.

IBT, “Germans moving to “Christian’ Hungary to flee migrant crisis”, 26 May 2016:

Increasing numbers of German’s are moving to Hungary to flee the refugee crisis, German public service broadcaster Bayerische Rundfunk reported.

Estate agents in the picturesque Balaton area in western Hungary said there had been a surge in Germans looking to move to the area since September, after millions of refugees fleeing conflict in the Middle East and Africa entered Germany.

As well as the good weather and large German community, one estate agent told the station that the new German arrivals were attracted by the fact that the majority of Hungarians are Christians and “there are hardly any migrants” in the country.

Millions of refugees and migrants entered Europe in 2015, many travelling on foot through eastern and central Europe to seek refuge in Germany, where German chancellor Angela Merkel granted asylum to refugees from the Syrian Civil War.

Hungarian Prime Minister has criticised Germany’s refugee policy, refusing to accept the country’s EU quota of asylum seekers and authorising the construction of a razor wire fence to seal the country.

Germany received the highest number of asylum applications in 2015, followed by Hungary, according to Eurostat.
