Denk toch niet zo provinciaal. Ik doel op het feit dat regels en wetten door de EU worden gemaakt. Een voorbeeldje:
"Television without Frontiers" (TVWF) Directive (89/552/EEC),
In the specific issue of hate broadcasts, Article 22a of the TVWF Directive states: “Member States shall ensure that broadcasts do not contain any incitement to hatred on grounds of race, sex, religion or nationality”.
A similar rule is laid down in Article 7 of the Council of Europe’s European Convention on Transfrontier Television (ECTT): “(1) All items of programme services, as concerns their presentation and content, (...) shall not (b) give undue prominence to violence or be likely to incite to racial hatred

This includes publicly inciting to violence or hatred, even by dissemination or distribution of tracts, pictures or other material, directed against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined by reference to race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin.
The communiqué goes on to say that member states may choose to punish only conduct which is either carried out in a manner likely to disturb public order or which is threatening, abusive or insulting. Crucially, it also states that the reference to religion is intended to cover, "at least", conduct which is a pretext for racism.

THE Government is seeking to prevent an EU directive that could extend broadcasting regulations to the internet, hitting popular video-sharing websites such as YouTube.
The European Commission proposal would require websites and mobile phone services that feature video images to conform to standards laid down in Brussels.
Ministers fear that the directive would hit not only successful sites such as YouTube but also amateur “video bloggers” who post material on their own sites. Personal websites would have to be licensed as a “television-like service”.

Internet providers will be expected to do more against violence- and hate-extolling pages on the Internet. A declaration of the European Parliament, which will be submitted to a plenary session in Strasbourg next week, is designed to give a decisive push in this direction. The draft of the declaration, which heise online has seen, calls on providers in somewhat vague language to make provisions against "hate pages" part of their standard terms and conditions. The ultimate object of the push by five EU Members of Parliament, Glyn Ford and Claude Moraes of the UK's Labour Party, the Hungarian Liberal Party member Viktória Mohácsi and the two German European Members of Parliament Bernd Posselt (Christian Social Union; CSU) and Feleknas Uca (The Left Party), is to banish racism and hate propaganda from the Internet altogether. The preamble to the declaration mentions anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and anti-Romany campaigns. Should the providers refuse to act more forcefully the five initiators of the declaration have vowed to pressure the European Commission into drafting appropriate legislation.
