Posting hateful speech online could lead to police raiding your home in this European country:
If you've ever dared to read the comments on a social media post, you
might start to wonder if civilized discourse is just a myth. Aggressive
threats, lies, and harassment have unfortunately become the norm
online, where anonymity has emboldened some users to push the limits of
civility. In the United States, most of what anyone says, sends, or
streams online — even if it's hate-filled or toxic — is protected by the
First Amendment as free speech.
But Germany is trying to bring some
civility to the world wide web by policing it in a way most Americans
could never imagine. In an effort, it says, to protect discourse, German
authorities have started prosecuting online trolls. And as we saw, it
often begins with a pre-dawn wake-up call from the police.
It's
6:01 on a Tuesday morning, and we were with state police as they raided
this apartment in northwest Germany. Inside, six armed officers searched
a suspect's home, then seized his laptop and cellphone.
Prosecutors say
those electronics may have been used to commit a crime. The crime?
Posting a racist cartoon online. At the exact same time, across Germany,
more than 50 similar raids played out. Part of what prosecutors say is a
coordinated effort to curb online hate speech in Germany.
