60 Minutes: Policing the internet in Germany, where hate speech, insults are a crime

This is the infamous 60 Minutes report about draconian government censorship of so called hate speech in Germany. Daily denunciation floods police offices around the country!
This is so embarrassing for Germany! It is such a joke given the fact that German, colloquial, ordinary language can be very gross, direct, and insulting, but that is widely accepted.


Really! This is hate speech? (Translation: A climbing park for refugees. Photo  shows electrical power lines)


A politician was called a penis/cock, but in vulgar German. It is a satire too, because the layout of a leading German weekly magazine, i.e. Der Spiegel, was used here.


This is clearly a satire not hate speech! Words were attached to a prominent German politician. (Abbreviated translation: Integration starts with a German learning Turkish). Then, some of the comments to this social media post were threatening against the politician.
