> “The fact that Erdogan’s Turkey – one of the world’s leading jailers of journalists – is citing NetzDG as inspiration for its new draconian law on “The Regulation of Publications made in the Internet Environment” should send a clear warning signal to democracies that this model is a good faith effort gone bad.
This just sounds like the author was easily fooled by Erdogan's narrative. The nazis cited british laws to justify their genocide and I'm sure that Putin tells his people that every other nation has opressing laws similar to Russia.
Remember kids, don't believe a single word said by dictators and autocrats.
