That law is definitely problematic. The phrasing was even back then critizised rightfully as too broad, too open to interpretation. It generates a bad precedent, as it could just as well be used against anti fascism activists once the AFD manages to grab power anywhere.

Now where does that come from? It stemmed from one of those actionism-phases in politics where someone said ‘oh there’s so much hate on the internet, it inspires hate on the streets, what should we do?’

The backdrop was a consistent uprising in really troubling hate speech on the internet, where people with their clear names called for lynching politicians and their families. The thing is, addressing this would not have required new laws. We would have been fine with someone actually persecuting the laws we already had.

Now the “new law” ofc makes it easier to persecute those criminal cases. But that prosecution still only happens if the police actually stand up to it. Arguments like “insufficient public interest” “insufficient staffing” “that could have been anyone writing this, how should we know that an account named Max Mustermann actually belongs to said Max Mustermann” still give the police in the more right wing states in Eastern Germany easy ways out. If they don’t want to prosecute a crime, they will always find a way around it.

With all that being said, I can only concur with observations that this law is only now being discussed in international news as right-wing governments with media ties try to make a bad mood against Germany and influence the upcoming elections. Otherwise the anti-protest laws in the UK that bring climate activists behind bars for peaceful non-violent protests would top those headlines every time.

Tl/DR; yes, that law is shit and good intentions don’t help. Police still only prosecute those they want.

Hmm… Sounds like something the mods would have to configure?

Was done with an air rifle, making it a little bit better, but it still very much surprised me due to the very same reasons…

Drone pilot from Germany here, they have no place hovering over your property, more strictly even they’re not allowed to fly in any way that allows them to view your garden from above. You can shoot down the drone and it’s their problem note that this is in Germany not the US (which surprised me tbh).

However, that said, could be that it’s the same pilot again and again, even if it’s different birds. Normally they are very cooperative, just ask them to stop and they’ll apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Yep, and right they are. We’re dangerous terrorists and our opinion that we should change our way of living instead of destroying the planet before it’s too late is a very dangerous thought that terrorizes their simplistic minds.

It baffles me how short lived the memory of people is. The whole affair around Gorch Fock should have made a persona non grata, especially after blatantly refusing any collaboration with the authorities (very convenient that all the incriminating chats were deleted and she can’t remember a thing anymore…). On the other hand, looking at the SPD and Scholz’ appearance for the Warburg Bank investigation was not any better.
