This post is biased and alarmist, as it says "puns aren't safe," indicating that anyone who posts a random pun might be arrested. Yet, this is far from the case. If you read the article, the person in question has 5,000 followers on X and posted a random x without context; without any context, the person's post would be subject to increased scrutiny. In addition, there was already a second case against him apparently making a post supporting Nazis. The accusation is that it's pro-Nazi - but without any context, it can be difficult to say. Another cause for suspicion of this person was the fact he had a history of being in the military.

Was this person being made an example of? Perhaps. But the article and post do not provide enough information to say for sure.

Conclusion: People who live in Germany with a history of military service and a significant following on Twitter should avoid posting about Nazis without providing additional context. Or, if you live in Germany - a country that has a history of living with actual Nazis - just don't make comparisons with Nazis in general.

The conclusions that cannot be drawn, however, is the conclusion that OP and the OP image draw and imply.

Discussion: There is a lot wrong with the assessment in the OP image:

1. Alarm symbol, indicating imminent threat. - stupid.
2. Misleading title.
3. Alarmist phrase - in addition to an actual alarm icon (a red flag to avoid reading or taking seriously any of the text that follows, btw) - it includes the alarmist phrase, "even puns aren't safe," making people think that they aren't allowed to use puns, anymore.
4. The image says they are filing hundreds of criminal complains, but OP only links to one - presumably the best example - and it is not a great example.
5. Alarmist terminology: "aprehend [sic] cellphones" - appealing to the fears of internet addicts - as though a cellphone is a sentient being
6. Downplaying the insult by not providing context - saying the insult was as innocuous as the word "moron."
7. Not including relevant detail - saying that that was the only relevant factor involved in getting his house raided.
8. Use of the word "home" instead of "house" to imply a greater injustice, when they probably never asked the guy if he considers his place of residence his home or not.

With AI becoming more commonplace (and the ability to create any article you want to read), ponies may want to start asking themselves before they read something: "What kind of content do I care to care about?"

>Why do German politicians hate freedom of speech?
One politician, and legal experts are saying it was disproportionate. And it's a meme, so it doesn't 'significantly impede' the 'public actions' of the politician, so it's not going to hold up in court.

It turns out the law fucks up sometimes. See also: many American cops acting as judge, jury and executioner.

>Is there anything that the US can do to save Germany?
Don't be such a paternalist.

Putting Musk on a Space X shuttle to Mars to pave the way for the colonisation he always dreamed about, for one.

Have you stopped beating your kids today?

The problem is that parents no longer beat their children.
