Newstalk now reporting the story from last week that the US State Deparment is considering travel bans for Irish officials enforcing EU "hate speech" codes. "So Ireland is in a bit of a tight spot in relation to all of this... obviously we have a deadline of the 7th of July to decide what we're going to do with hate speech legislation." "It’s very clear from speaking to people in the State Department this week that there is definitely a bit of pressure on the Irish government to think carefully about what it’s doing with regards to implementing certain speech codes that would be in line with Brussels—particularly on hate speech and the regulation of speech online, especially on social media platforms. "It's probably going to have some profound implications for Ireland's diplomatic relations and ties with America." 🔗newstalk.com 👉🏻join Late Stage Ireland
