The European Union has taken steps to make incitement to "racial hatred" as well as justification or gross trivialisation of genocide crimes punishable by imprisonment.
I have no problem with making speech that incites violence; irrespective of whether it has a racial, religious or ethnic dimension; a criminal act but how does one define "hatred"? Where does one draw the line? Will one still be able to incite "deep dislike" or "general distaste"?
It is a bad, bad, bad idea but no there' will be no stopping it I imagine.
