One of the appropriate actions post-war Germany took after the horrors of the Holocaust, World War II & Hitler's & his Nazis' rise to power was to establish Criminal Code Section 130, a blueprint to defend democracy against aggressive propagandists, demagogues & subverters:
Incitement of the public (/"masses"):
"...

@RiaResists @isotope239 @tofugolem@mastodon.social @DangerousFruit The major source of misleading, dividing, riling up & readying for violence its audience is... Fox "News".
There's a lot of very good reasons it's banned in many countries of the free world being able to distinguish between free speech & inciting hate speech, no matter if it's distractingly mixed with "entertainment".

@RollingStone Surprise, surprise: In today's Germany (freed from Hitler-Nazi rule by the United States & its allies) idiotic antisemites like Kanye would face lawsuits for racist/ antisemitic #IncitementOfThePublic.
Because #HateSpeech doesn't equate to #FreeSpeech.

@GottaLaff Facebook & other for-profit self-proclaimed "social media" should seriously take into consideration, that there are countries, where approval of crimes -as would be manifested by reinstating an impeached inciter of insurrection to a public online platform - is treated as a criminal offense itself.

@thejenniwren For the Rule of Law it's unacceptable that a wannabe-king of car dealers turned social-media Kim Jong Un puts himself above the law!
Musk - and many others - evidently failed to understand the real meaning of "unlimited opportunities" & the factual, societal stability-related limits of Free Speech!
He needs to go to school again!
