Do the servers fall under german jurisdiction now?One could say that a holocaust denial is usually inaccurate, hateful and used to harass people, it is also against a law.
And as if that weren't enough, it is an insult addressed to a group that is very inflammatory.
The main intent of posting the video was an example of how the german authorities (and anti-fa) are raiding people for "hate speech" on the internet; A man posts a provocative picture around on facebook: gets included in a raid of 60 people by the police and a mob defaces his home, then he explains his situation to interviewers a few days later. Simultaniously I wanted to show how the amount of zeal the german police when persuing these people is in stark contrast with the reluctance the german police have exhibited when responding to extremism of their immigrant population over the last two years.
The video contains no holocaust denial inside it, it has one man spend 5 seconds recomending the viewer listen to a speech by a holocaust denier, that only earns confusion from the interviewers and likely the listeners. You have to dig deep and reference other materiel to find any inflammatory material in it, and likely noone here would have noticed if legs wasnt looking for any excuse to dismiss this man's testimony and excuse his mistreatment, an excuse I am depressed to see some of the rest of you jump on.
Every time a mod tried to kill a conversation by deleting the posts without taking further action all it does is make the subject of the deletions feel persecuted, making tensions worse.In the video in question there was a speaker who was advocating that listeners read the works of a known Holocaust denier. While it wasnt outright Holocaust denial, I felt it best to delete it not just because of the topic but because the video was causing a lot of tensions here. Although it seems like it didnt do any good.
Please dont do it again.
