The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is warning Facebook and Twitter to do more on the issue of “hate speech,” or face fines and greater regulation in the UK. Khan is lobbying Big Tech to make ANY criticism of mass immigration on social media "hate speech" for which the poster can be banned, fined or arrested. This is the next move.
Talking to the BBC ahead of the RESISTANCE gathering at the South by Southwest (SXSW) technology festival in Austin, Texas, Khan said that companies must be “chivvied and cajoled to take action.”
He went on to reference German hate speech laws, put in place by Angela Merkel in response to growing resentment at her open-door migration policy, with companies now facing fines up to 50 million euros.
