If you say mean things about Moslems, you'll get banned from social media and investigated by police. This thanks to Germany's new "hate speech" law!
It looks like Germany's new law to combat "hate speech" is already being implemented. Beatrix Von Storch an AfD politician was just banned from Twitter and Facebook after criticizing Cologne police for sending a New Year's tweet in Arabic. She's even being criminally investigated!DW:
A top lawmaker from the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was blocked from Twitter and Facebook on Monday after slamming the Cologne police for sending a New Year's tweet in Arabic.The incident caused the AfD to lash out further and criticize censorship as a controversial new German social media law known as NetzDG went into effect January 1 in a bid to clamp down on online hate speech.
The Cologne police tweeted New Year’s greetings and linked to information on celebrating safely in a series of messages in German and other languages, including Arabic. Cologne was the scene two years ago of mass sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve in which most of the suspects were described as young men of North African and Arab origin.
“What the hell is happening in this country? Why is an official police site tweeting in Arabic? Do you think it is to appease the barbaric, gang-raping hordes of Muslim men?” wrote Beatrix von Storch, the deputy leader of the AfD’s parliamentary group.
The tweet was later deleted after Twitter froze von Storch’s account and informed her she had violated hate speech rules. Her account was shut down for 12 hours. The Cologne police said on Monday that they had filed a criminal complaint against von Storch for hate speech.
Her statement was a valid one. The Cologne police should not be sending out messages in Arabic especially after what happened in the city a couple of years ago. Brown savages on New Year’s Eve were sexually assaulting women all over the place.
Germany is quite the mess but the good news is that it can be fixed!
