can't wait for the 56%er takes on Article 13: "LOL u Europoors just outlawed memes!"
newsflash, dumbass Americans: it's also now illegal for YOU to post memes, since Twitter, Facebook et al. will force users worldwide to conform to E.U. laws to save money

Silicon Valley anti-hate speech TOSes are based directly on E.U. hate speech laws since:
a) they fundamentally agree with those laws
a) it's too expensive to enforce one standard on Europeans and one on everyone else
b) the E.U. is too large a market for them to withdraw from

that's right, 56%ers: you're already living under hate speech laws, it's just that they're being enforced by Twitter, Google et al. instead of the U.S. government
so it will be with Article 13: these sites will force ALL of their users EVERYWHERE to conform to the E.U.'s new law

so stop being smug, Americans, and maybe get active in opposing Article 13, because guess what: it's going to affect you too
