Germany's been doing fucked up stuff for a while. People have literally had the police visit and gotten citations for what they said online (for example calling a politician a "penis" on social media.) It's fucked.

Specifically the person got raided on a wrong address, so actually his ex partner and child got raided, the raid came after the owner of the twitter account already had identified himself to the police and admitted to the "crime".

There was absolutely no possible investigative reason for the raid. It was purely meant to intimidate someone for an insuot that is rather mild in German language

That one at least got cleared up in court, and even the damn police was pissed to be instrumentalized by 1 Penis like that (not to mention the societal backlash). In many cases it's even legitimate to have police involved, like with wild racist deathwishes in Facebook… but they indeed went way too far in too many cases.

Surely some more Chatcontrol and big cousin Palantir will fix that, right? …right? 🫠
