France Will Require Facebook to Remove Hate Content Within 24 Hours

Facebook has more troubles on the political front: the latest is a planned French law that requires they remove hate content within 24 hours or pay fines up to $62 million per incident. A similar German law is already in effect. Further clarifying who’s in charge, the law would also use government resources to find offensive content and empower the government to shut down hateful accounts when the social network fails to act. Can you hear me now?
