As member states of the European Union have adopted laws and programs to curtail inflammatory and hateful expression, American observers have considered the efficacy of these measures. European judicial rulings now address the balancing of rights at stake in the cases that require social media censorship and the application of these laws is under scrutiny. There is also the fundamental debate as engaged in European communities as to what groups or individuals are the subjects of these speech-restrictive efforts.

What results are evident in societal trends and governmental impulses to further curtail speech that a subject considers offensive?
