    The government didn’t decide that though, courts do. As long as that still holds, that’s exactly how democracies are not destroyed, isnt it? I think, German law enforcement may be overstepping their boundaries in these cases and for example in the case of Andy Grote mentioned in the article, the actions taken were actually ruled to have been illegal (in court). Honestly seems more like a democracy doing democracy things.

      These kind of laws are gonna get used against political dissent and rivals by the government. It’s so obvious honestly if you can’t see it then I don’t know what to say

        Yes, I think this is what we’re gonna see. Even more so once the far right takes power. They will use the anti-hate speech laws against their creators because they are easy to abuse.
