Well for one denial of holocaust is illegal in many countries. Often under wider rules that falsification of historical facts is illegal.

EU should ban Xitter, because it's a channel for history falsification and hate speech.

That sounds nice. I wish it was like that here.

If you are in USA, I seriously wish so too, because the latrine that is the debate in USA is flowing over to the rest of the world.

A law to prevent spreading false history may sound good but I fear it's not a good solution. In bad hands the law can instead can attack history to promote a false one. If an inconvenient truth happens to looks like the dribble a Holocaust denier would say then good hands may punish an otherwise good person, promoting a different incorrect history.

I'm convinced I cannot trust anyone to judge - for me - what I should be able to read/hear. There must be better ways to defeat Nazism ideology.
