They don't require zero hate speech, but do require the companies to have a system in place to respond to complaints, and in Germany a specific effort has to be made to stop stuff glorifying Nazis from being shown to anyone inside Germany or who has their location set to Germany. At the moment Twitter has accounts with people reciting Mein Kampf and is refusing to do anything about it.
Twitter used to have those systems in place, and it used to work pretty well, Facebook etc have such things in place and they work well enough to stop the it from becoming a legal issue.
Now can you tell me what has changed since Musk took over, fired almost all the non programming staff, and all the local staff in most of the world whose jobs were to understand what the local laws required and to follow them? (not to mention most/all the people who could speak those local languages, and were in named positions for legal contacts).
I know it's going to be hard to pin point what has changed in the last few months but give it a really good think and you might manage it.
These aren't new laws in most cases, they're laws that the likes of Twitter as it was went into the countries to do business with an understanding of what was required and processes in place to ensure at least the legally required minimum effort was put in place to follow them. So they weren't considered "too expensive" or "too hard" to follow given the amount of business that could be done in those countries.
