"Hate Speech" is becoming the new "Terrorism". Anything that stood in the way of the United States was labeled as terrorism. "Terrorism" allowed in the Patriot Act to spy on Americans. "Terrorism" gave reason for USA to invade other countries for resources.
Now calling anything they don't agree with Hate Speech will allow them to push their agendas once again.

I may not support the ban of online anonymity when it comes to financial transactions such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies, but on the issue of trying to stop hate speech on the social media ....
In the USA for several years, we have seen over and over, banning of conservative writers and thinkers by Facebook and Twitter based on something they said being "hate speech."
I no longer take this type of thing seriously and consider it nothing more than one sided political repression.
Maybe it is one of those kind of things that sounds nice in the abstract, but when implemented becomes evil very quickly.
It's not fair to say that Austria as a whole wants to ban anomity because some far right or left group introduced a bill that will never get passed.
Bills get brought up all the time in America that are a joke in order to prove a point,

So look like facebook/twitter is going to lose a lot of userbase in Austria. Might be all the user shift to some other platform that would not come in jurisdiction of EU and Austria.
So what Austria will be going to do next?
Selectively banning the websites in Austria. Look like they are moving towards the internet censorship and this is their first step.

That's not how it works. Either you have it or you don't, you don't get to pick and choose. Also if you think finances are more important than freedom of speech then you are quite naive.

It really feels surreal that it is 2019 and places in Europe are still trying to silence people's speech.
It is one thing to filter certain words from being used. It is another thing to ban people for using words that are allowed.
