A few examples (though the reporting could be clearer): https://www.techdirt.com/2018/01/12/second-time-week-german-hate-speech-laws-results-deletion-innocent-speech/ https://www.techdirt.com/2018/01/12/second-time-week-german-... https://www.dw.com/en/facebook-slammed-for-censoring-german-street-artist/a-42155218 https://www.dw.com/en/facebook-slammed-for-censoring-german-... Fortunately for the defenders of that law, the notoriously opaque censorship of social media companies helps hide what is going on, so few examples surface. I could not find anything as convenient as a list of (wrongfully or not) censored content by this law. Often the censored party is not even told that the NetzDG was involved. Silence on this issue should not be confused with a lack of problems, however. For example, in Germany: “it can be a criminal offense in Germany to call another person a ‘jerk,’ or even to use the informal du, or ‘thou,’” to communicate a lack of respect for the recipient. German courts have penalized other similar “derogatory epithets,” including “asshole,” “bastard,” “old goat, “fathead,” “dope,” and “whore.” [..] German courts heard 26,757 criminal insult cases that year, leading to 21,454 convictions and 20,390 fines. - https://law.yale.edu/mfia/case-disclosed/germanys-netzdg-and-threat-online-free-speech https://law.yale.edu/mfia/case-disclosed/germanys-netzdg-and... To me this looks like a severe overreach of speech restrictions, even if one doesn't idealize the US 1st amendment, and accepts the need for some government censorship. Yet I've only learned about it just now, from a very obscure post.
