The study said that authorities in Germany sought legal action against people who pilloried politicians.
The report made a mention of criminal prosecutions in Germany over memes about politicians, seemingly pointing to the case of an editor of a publication affiliated to the far-right AfD.
Which is not entirely wrong. Case Andi Grote Major of Hamburg and Number 1 Pimmel, PimmelGate. Which is a whole big number about state power abuse and power tripping over months. A real good “wall-head-banging”-story about a politicians hurt fee fees for being called a dick.
Another one always cited is an AfD Guy that, so the story always is told, got a house search due to mocking of Robert Habeck, former Vice-Chanclor and Economic minister as well as leader of the Green Party. How ever he was actually house searched for posting nazi stuff which is against the law.
Despite that i wouldnt call that a decline of internet freedom. Most lawsuits going out due to internet stuff is because that posting really is often anything but “a joke”. We are talking death threats, and such a like
Yeah, this far-right AfD which is heavily supported by China and Russia. And another point is that attacks by hackers with ties to the Russian state also contributed to the drop in Germany.
Yeah really unfortunate. They have these disinformation campaigns and try to empower the nastiest politicians to destabilize our society. Then they spy on other politicians, there’s cyberattacks, they burn down our DHL logistics facilities, sabotage natural gas reserves and do whatever they can do. There was something with marine ships and we’re still not sure about a plethora of things. For example who occasionally cuts those glass fibre cables to sabotage the trains and then all commuters can’t get to work. They spread terror and all of this is in fact effective. And then of course Putin wages war and forces us to spend a large pile of money on the military, weapon systems and all the nasty stuff and I always like to believe there’s better things to invest in than death machinery. But hey.
