Those of you that have read a history book.
Not condoning people say such things but it seems the crackdown is a one-way street. Also, this is something that the sites themselves should be policing. Multi billion dollar corps have the resources to do such and have proven they can, albeit tailored to their specific ideology.
Slippery slopes and all.
P.S. Waiting for the crackdown of pro-ISIS/terrorist sympathizer speech on those sites.
Police in Germany carried out house raids across the nation on Wednesday, targeting people accused of posting hateful content on social media. In a press release, the country's federal police agency (Bundeskriminalamt, or BKA) said that the homes of around 60 people were searched on Wednesday, and that most of the suspects were accused of posting anti-Semitic, xenophobic, and other extremist messages. The operation was carried out across 14 provinces, involving 25 police departments, and around 40 legal investigations have been opened. This marks the first time that police have carried out nationwide raids over hateful content posted online, the BKA said.
Germany has seen a recent surge in online hate speech, fueled in part by the ongoing refugee crisis. The country accepted more than one million asylum-seekers last year, mostly from war-torn Syria and Iraq, sparking some far-right protests and xenophobic violence. A survey released by the Pew Research Center this week showed that six in 10 Germans link refugees to an increase in terrorism, and that the influx will harm the German economy.
