Declan McCullagh has penned an interesting write-up in his column on ZDNet, outlining some of the shocking legislation that is being considered in Europe.
A key section of the treaty should shock Americans. It would criminalize using a computer to "insult" someone based on national origin, race, religion, and so on.
That's right. If you forward a Mick-and-Paddy-in-a-bar Irish joke to your friends through e-mail, the Eurocrats have concluded that you're a criminal who should be locked up, pronto.
Some serious EU bashing, with a cute li'l disclaimer at the bottom.
