[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]This Wikipedia page on hate speech laws in France is interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_laws_in_France In particular, this part under "Freedom of the press": "Articles 32 and 33 prohibit anyone from publicly defaming or insulting a person or group for belonging or not belonging, in fact or in fancy, to an ethnicity, a nation, a race, a religion, a sex, or a sexual orientation, or for having a handicap. The penalty for defamation is up to a year of imprisonment and a fine of up to €45,000, or either one of those punishments. The penalty for insult is up to six months of imprisonment and a fine of up to €22,500, or either one of those punishments." France appears to be far more restrictive than the US. [/quote] Most of Europe is. Perhaps all of it. They don't understand our tolerance of hate speech and we don't understand their criminalization of it.[/quote]
