Did you read that post? I don't think you did because that explains the entire reasoning why it was defederated. Had nothing to do with them breaking the law.
Ok, I guess you're from Belgium. Tell me one thing - is racism legal in Belgium? Because EH is clearly supporting and endorsing racism. That alone makes it illegal. At least here in the UK. There's no need to invent some explanation for this specific case.
So because the rules we put on lemmy.world also match with laws - it's because of the laws we decided to not federate with them? Not because we don't want to deal with that kind of people in general? Because we personally don't like bigots, racists and homophobes? And it wasn't because we didn't want to give them a platform here? Cool, I didn't know.
