@nordicbynature2775 “We are making it clear that anyone who posts hate messages must expect the police to be at the front door afterward,” Holger Münch, the head of the Federal Criminal Police Office, said after the March raids.
Hate speech, extremism, misogyny and misinformation are well-known byproducts of the internet. But the people behind the most toxic online behavior typically avoid any personal major real-world consequences. Most Western democracies like the United States have avoided policing the internet because of free speech rights, leaving a sea of slurs, targeted harassment and tweets telling public figures they’d be better off dead. At most, Facebook, YouTube or Twitter remove a post or suspend their account.
But over the past several years, Germany has forged another path, criminally prosecuting people for online hate speech.
German authorities have brought charges for insults, threats and harassment. The police have raided homes, confiscated electronics and brought people in for questioning. Judges have enforced fines worth thousands of dollars each and, in some cases, sent offenders to jail. The threat of prosecution, they believe, will not eradicate hate online, but push some of the worst behavior back into the shadows.

@FloofersFX Exactly 💯, so why did the person feel like they had to comment that, German houses are not made out of paper, like US houses, there is only one reason someone would say that, it was to say that Americans aren't smart enough to build real houses, when everyone knows that we Americans came from there and everywhere else in the world, so when someone from there insults us, they are also insulting themselves, a famous person once said, can't we all just get along 🙂

@Floofers You are the one criticizing me and everyone in the US, you and are the one who can't take criticism, I'm the one who has been saying, can't we all get along without criticizing each other, yes to me my country is the best and to you your country is the best, and there is nothing wrong with that. Of course every country has its flaws, and every country has its strengths. No socialist country has ever worked, because there is no incentive to work hard. It just doesn't work and it never will. You say people should pool their money, that is another way of saying that people who work should pay for people who don't work. Anything you say will offend someone, who gets to decide what speech is hate speech, if someone says something that someone else disagrees with may be considered hate speech. The fact that you think that you or anyone should be the leader of the world is as astounding as your arrogance.

@Floofers Most people think that their country is the best, like most people think their kids are the best, what is horrendous about working for a better life instead of expecting someone else to provide you with a better life, I don't criticize anyone, why do you feel the need to criticize me, like saying that we are misfortionat to be born here. I totally agree with paying taxes to help people in need, but I'm against someone who just wants to be completely supported by other people when they can work for themselves, the paragraph about my brain makes absolutely no sense, maybe you should reread it and rewrite it to try to make some sense, and nobody can define what is hate speech or what is just rude speech, who do you think should be in control of defining what is called hate speech, the government, and what do you think should be the penalties for hate speech, prison, fines or death, and if it's fines, what if a person doesn't pay the fines, then prison, I just wonder why you have so much hate for someone who you don't even know and have no interest in knowing.

@Floofers I guess you haven't heard of the saying, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me, words aren't violence, violence is violence. We do have universal health care, it's called Medicare and Medicaid, it costs a lot of money to combat disease, someone has to pay for it, Everyone is offended when someone offends them, I'm not the one who is criticizing, you are criticizing me and my country, because you don't understand or are jealous, stop hating. Nobody dies here for lack of medical care, people from all over the world come here to be treated and to learn about our medical breakthroughs. You should spend more time trying to fix your own country than criticizing and degrading mine. Why do you feel the need to call me uneducated and brain damaged, when you literally know nothing about me , countries with the most propaganda. ..Eritrea
North Korea
Saudi Arabia
Ethiopia
Azerbaijan
Vietnam
Iran
China
Myanmar
Cuba. Please stop hating people that you don't know.
