Wouldn't be the platform (the ISP or something of that sort) that would get the warning, not PF?

I hate Muslim migrants.

....Trusted whistleblowers have specific expertise and competence in detecting, identifying, and reporting illegal content and are independent of online platforms. Online platforms must ensure that reports submitted by trusted whistleblowers are prioritized and processed in a timely manner....

....The Digital Services Act (DSA) applies to all online intermediaries and platforms in the EU, such as online marketplaces, social networks, content-sharing platforms, app stores, and online travel and accommodation platforms.

Small and micro-enterprises are exempt from some rules that may be more burdensome for them. The Commission will carefully monitor the impact of the new regulation on SMEs.

Very large online platforms and search engines (VLOPs and VLOSEs) have additional obligations....

...The new rules include an EU-wide framework for detecting, labeling, and removing illegal content, as well as new risk assessment obligations for very large online platforms and search engines to determine how illegal content spreads on their services.

What constitutes illegal content is defined in other laws, either at EU or national level-for example, terrorist content, child sexual abuse material, or illegal hate speech at EU level. If content is illegal only in a specific Member State, it should generally only be removed in the territory where it is illegal....

Basically news that make you go Argh!

...about something so simple and so fundamental???

I wish it would come from a Brit so I could be less restrained in mine.

Why did Euro voters want all these Muslim migrants?

We never wanted Muslim migrants

That's why they don't want to answer my question if they ever asked for or if they agreed to bringing in more Muslims.

why are Muslim migrants in Europe?

More modern and developed than Germany.

It's very possible that soon there will be German gastarbeiters there.

Merkel dropped a bollock with the 'Open Door' thing, however the blame is on her and her CDU, not the people who came.

And a larger Polish zone this time, maybe instead of the t*SSian zone.

...The units were to initially comprise 12,000 volunteers and would initially be assigned to the Second, Fourth, and Ninth Armies. The strict voluntary nature of the matter was emphasized. The use of the derogatory term "HiWi" (Hi-Wi) was banned. This was strictly prohibited, as the aim was to convince the Poles that they would be treated like "real" Wehrmacht soldiers. Any contact with Ukrainian or Russian units, as well as political discussions with the volunteers, was also prohibited. ...

For the first time in 25 years: More Poles are leaving Germany than entering

Germany, long one of the main destinations for Polish emigration, recorded a decline in 2024 for the first time since 2000.

Destatis data shows that 90,807 non-Germans moved from Germany to Poland in 2024. 82,082 people emigrated in the other direction.

"According to the German Statistical Office, more Poles will return to our country from emigration than emigrate to Germany in 2024," writes Andrzej Kubisiak, deputy director of the Polish Institute of Economic Research (PIE), in a post on the X platform.

"The trend is broader and also applies to other CEE countries, but given the demographic challenges, this is good news for Poland," he adds.
