Google, Facebook and Twitter Agree to Pull Hate Speech in Germany

Germany on Tuesday announced that Google's YouTube, Facebook and Twitter have agreed to its demands to remove hate speech appearing on their networks within 24 hours after a removal request has been made. The measures include best practice mechanisms that FSM, a nonprofit association dedicated to the protection of minors, and its members, including Google, have developed. They will not impede freedom of speech, and all legitimate expressions of opinion, even if they're objectionable, are protected, according to the agreement.
