If you have been ingrained with our right of free speech, this is pretty scary.

Never take for granted free speech.

Sadly there are quite a few people in this country that think that this is the direction we should go. Frightening.

I wonder if she has ever considered that maybe the people afraid to voice their opinion are afraid of being locked up by the speech police ??

The fact this was not met with ridicule by the reporter is terrifying. People who think mean internet comments should result in jail need to be ridiculed and bullied until they realize how dumb they are.

Sadly, it sounds like Germany is headed down the same path as they did 80 years ago. All they lack is a charismatic, tyrannical, controlling public figure to take the reigns and hello 4th Reich.

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

Exactly! Without the 2nd amendment, you don't get the rights of the other 9.

Well yeah, their darling Legacy Media is losing credibility and is getting hammered as is their BS propaganda, thanks to Pod Casts, X, memes, and other new media.

So now they cant control the narrative as they have for the last 50 years therefore free speech suddenly becomes a bad thing. At this point you cant hate legacy media enough

USAID paid for these policies and paid for their "unfree" speech.

They were on the cusp one more election and no Elon from brainwashing the American people that free speech was a bad thing.

The background and shaping of these "reportings" by propagandists like 60 Minutes/CBS take time, and are planned to roll out in a manner and timeframe to shape public opinion and gauge reception for and by the public.

This was going to run in this timeframe, perhaps with a more supportive lens of limiting free speech, should have Kamala won which is what they were expecting. Most likely reworked some, to use it to gauge the public's acceptance of the Euro-doomed practices.
"Green" is the new RED.

Germans can't stop being abusive to their own citizens. They have to be the easiest to radicalized to authoritarian government.

She's literally contradicting herself. "Without boundaries a small group of people can control speech." This is literally what she's advocating for and what the law does in Germany. It's all about who decides what is offensive and what isn't. And we know the left will be in control of that.

Yep.

She's perfectly fine with a small group of people deciding what is free to say so long as it's her small group of people

Yes, half the country.

If it ever comes to that point, I think bullets will start flying.

Note: I'm not advocating violence, I'm just making a prediction.

I doubt it. They're weak and pathetic now. They're far more likely to be a Caliphate than a Reich

Where was all this limits on free speech when the left ran all of the social media and MSM sources?

Oh right you are free to speak only if it agrees with their views.

I guarantee if we had a democrat in office the German government would request to find a way to prosecute you, and our government would contort the law to somehow say you were interacting unlawfully with a foreign agent and prosecute your here.

It sounds far fetched, but it's going to happen in the future. European governments aren't going back, and democrats want similar powers. A way around the 1st amendment is going to be found

I think you could put most the d's and some of the lefty trolls that post on here in this category.

They throw around the far-right bs and nazi crap without looking in the mirror. There is no introspection among this group of loons.

This whole thing just reinforces the fact that we don't need to be wasting American tax dollars on a country where the laws are completely anithetical to our Constitution.

If Kamala won, it would be happening here. It was already starting.

This is nothing unique to the brits or europeans.

CBS is an enemy of the free people of the United States and should be treated as such.
