In every redaction, there used to be a government employee called censor. This one read all articles are decides what can and what cannot go into print. The law does not require checking all content, it requires checking content that has been flagged by users. So it is neither everything nor on behalf of the government. Censor followed government wish what citizens can and cannot know. The law requires taking offline content that is in violation of existing laws, it has nothing to do with what the government likes or not. At least unless you assume that the laws already reflect what the government likes and dislikes in which case taking offline Facebook posts is probably not your biggest concern. This German law institutes private censors. This one will behave exactly like the same, except they will be employed by the company, under penalty. There is certainly some justified concern that decisions over legal matters are moved into private hands but in the end that are considerations of practicality. In an ideal world a judge would check all cases but that is realistically not going to happen. So judges checking all the cases where users complain about the decisions made by private companies seems a reasonable compromise. This is not cultural marxism, this is censorship. The rules under which censors will operate are based on political correctness, which is based on cultural marxism. This is just vague, it doesn't really say anything. You can not really discuss anything just in terms like capitalism, political correctness, or morality where hardly a hand full of people on Earth agrees on the exact meaning. Personally, I believe there much not be any limits to free speech. Free speech is not about what you can say - it's about what you can hear. Authoritarians are not afraid of what you can say, they are afraid of those who listen to you. I would agree that in an ideal world there should be no limit to what you can say, in reality we will have to compromise, I guess.
