In a country with strict laws protecting offensive speech including hate speech under a general barrier of free speech, it would be a freedom ruling.

In a country with hate speech laws, it's a horrible ruling and a rather ominous portent.

     Hate speech laws should be struck down in every country. While I don't approve of this way of doing it, I consider it to be a step in the right direction.

On which grounds? In some cases (I'm thinking of Germany), the ban on neo-Nazism speech IS in the Constitution, if I remember well.

Pit is a libertarian, so I'm gonna guess he believes in that "natural rights" bullsh*t.

What part of protecting unpopular speech being a core part of any Democracy don't a lot of Europeans understand? You figure of all people they would understand. But I guess as long as they personally agree with the ban then it's cool. Tools.

Oh wow, thank God our enlightened American brothers are here to teach us dumb Europeans what democracy really is! We could never figure it out without you.
