Germany Raids Homes of 36 People Accused of Hateful Postings Over Social Media - The New York Times
'Social media outlets would have 24 hours to delete “obviously criminal content” and a week to decide on more ambiguous cases. '
'Under the draft statute, networks must offer a readily available complaint process for posts that may amount to threats, hate speech, defamation, or incitement to commit a crime, among other offenses. '
'The law, approved by Germany’s cabinet in April, would be enforced with fines of up to $53 million. '
'According to a recent government study, Facebook deleted just 39 percent of illegal hate speech within 24 hours in January and February, despite signing a code of conduct in 2015 pledging to meet this standard. '
'Under German law, social media users are subject to a range of punishments for posting illegal material, including a prison sentence of up to five years for inciting racial hatred. '

How about, perhaps, maybe, arresting the hordes of immigrants who are drug dealing, harassing, robbing, raping, assaulting native Germans on subways, town squares, public places, all throughout Munich, Berlin, and other major cities?
Right - the cops aren't allowed to do that. A German defending himself from assault is more likely to get arrested and charged by the police than the bastard committing the crime because the traitorious Ostblock bitch is giving all of the shitskins a free pass on all of their criminal acts.
Then again, when I read the cuckery of actual Germans defending everything that is happening in their country, they deserve no better than to burn. I no longer feel any pity.

SO what about the cops causing “a climate of fear, threat, criminal violence and violence either on the street or on the internet.”causing ""
