Europe To Force Right of Reply On Internet Communication

Posted by Hemos on from the you-must-be-able-to-respond dept.

David Buck writes "Today, the Council of Europe (an influential quasi-governmental body that drafts conventions and treaties) is to finalize a proposal that would force all Internet news organizations, moderated mailing lists and even web logs (blogs) to allow a right of response to any person or organization they criticize. This would mean that you would be required to post the responses as well as authenticate their origin and make the responses available for some period of time. This will likely have a chilling effect on Internet communication (at least in Europe)."

  1. you've got to understand - the eu is a dictatorshi by ReLik · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    the eu isn`t about 'the people', like such ideals which america was created upon. europe is being made by politicians for politicians, whereas the american constitution was designed exactly for the average person by the average people of that time.

    eu law is for the eu politicians, it doesn`t care about the people, this is, practically a dictatorship which is slipping in under our noses.

    i`m in the uk, hopefully we won`t be going into the eu, it's quite disgusting what the eu does stand for, the day the uk joins the eu is the day (hand on heart) i live my country, i`ll go live in australia or the US or something, no way am i going to live in an eu-state.

    "Is Europe secretly a band of neo-nazi fascist authoritarians? "

    No, you seem to be confused. They are not "neo-nazi fascist authoritarians" by any strech of the imagination. They are the *new* Stasi..

    Stasi was short for "Staatssicherheit", meaning "State Security", the main security and intelligence organization of the German Democratic Republic (GDR).

    The Stasi monitored politically "incorrect" behaviour among all the citizens of East Germany.

    FYI, the Stasi was a product of Communist Russia occuping East Germany.

    If Neo-Nazi's were in control of the Internet in Europe you would most certainly know it because there would be a rising of a new Reich.

    I know these things because I am an Adolf HItler worshiping Nazi. If Neo-Nazis were in control of things in Europe there would be a mass exodus of JEW$ and mud people fleeing Western Europe as White people from the world over migrate back to their ancestral homelands to reclaim what is rightly theirs.

    Here's one place that the Europeans are screaming about, http://www.natvan.com
    which is simply an organisation that promotes the rights of White people.

    And this is the one place on earth where real free speech exists and that they want shut down,
    http://www.halturnershow.com
    Which is a nightly talk radio / News program that promotes the right of White people to speak freely.

    So you see, there is no secret band of neo-nazi fascist authoritarians trying to shut down the internet, it's the COMMUNISTS that are in control..
