EU Style Censorship!? California Bill To Slap $1M Fines On Social Media For Hate Speech Moves To Newsom's Desk
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/eu-style-censorship-california-bill-slap-1m-fines-social-media-hate-speech-moves-newsomsCalifornia is one pen stroke away from enacting a controversial bill that would impose fines of up to $1 million on major social media platforms that fail to censor content deemed in violation of state civil rights laws.
On Monday, SB 771 passed bother chambers of the state legislature, where it now sits on Governor Gavin Newsom's desk awaiting his signature.
While critics warn that the measure will lead to EU-style censorship of lawful speech, state Democrats justify the bill by citing "rising incidents of hate-motivated harm," including "hate crimes involving anti-immigrant slurs."
Nothing about violent leftist groups targeting conservatives, of course.
This one is more scary than some leftist getting fired for making vile Charlie Kirk remarks.
