European Union Tolerance Statute and Group Libel

The European Framework National Statute for the Promotion of Tolerance is a proposed law aimed at eliminating bias and "intolerance" across EU member states. The statute introduces the concept of "group libel," making it illegal to hold specific groups to ridicule or slander. Critics argue this legislation effectively removes freedom of speech by criminalizing anti-feminism, homophobia, and the denial of historical genocides.
