BERLIN — In a coordinated campaign across 14 states, the German police on Tuesday raided the homes of 36 people accused of hateful postings over social media, including threats, coercion and incitement to racism.
...
The raids come as Germans are debating the draft of a new social media law aimed at cracking down on hate speech, a measure that an array of experts said was unconstitutional at a parliamentary hearing on Monday.
...
According to Mr. Mihr, Germany’s current instruments for persecuting hate speech, as demonstrated by Tuesday’s raids, are working. “The raid shows that we don’t need this law because we have already instruments for persecuting such crimes,” he said.

Bet they’re sorry they don’t have a 2nd amendment.
Know what I don’t hear anymore? How peaceful Europe is without their guns!
Is it the same in Germany as here, with TRUTH being the new HATE SPEECH?
In order to show how intolerant of fascism they are, they resort to fascism- Disturbing to say the least and definitely the kind of behavior we can expect from Anerica’s ANTIFA/social justice warriors should they ever weasel their way back into power. Guaranteed.
The next reich.
The Koran IS "hate speech".
"Get 'em out"
The Germans, of course, have a long and colorful history of this kind of behavior.
I was reading an article about one post-WWII plan where Germany would not have been permitted to develop any industry at all-it would basically have been limited to farming and mining. This might not have been a bad idea.
They are heading right back to the Hitler days.
Merkel reviving the Stasi
I think Israel is the excuse. War is a tactic to consolidate power and to get people to wear a yoke they would be suspicious of in times of peace. After the yoke is in place it’s very difficult to remove.
Nazi book-burning.
Germans are control freak thugs...
Constantly changing sides - - but always looking for some group to push around.
This new ‘victim of choice’ is different than the last group not that it matters. A change that’s more fashion than substance. Guess it would be too obvious for them to repeat their victims within short periods of time.
NYT low key loves this idea as long as they get to define the “hate” speech.
Merkel remembers how she did it in the Stasi. Very dangerous if done with old school German efficiency.
Eliminate the reasons for the hate and problem solved. Nothing morally wrong with hating evil.
The difference is Merkel lacks Hitler’s compassion.
Germans have a history of liking Nazis, sand or otherwise. Is it any surprise their government prefers Muslims to modern peaceful citizens?
In the new Reich, truth = hate. Deutschland uber nix. Deutschland is kaput.
Normal Europeans are the real oppressed here. They should be allowed to seek political asylum here in the USA.
Europe’s fall to fascism and sharia is inevitable, so they might cross the pond sooner rather than later.
We would benefit as well.
