I wouldn't compare with US. All the late night show hosts would be in jail. Watching Bill Maher first time was a eye opener for me on free speech. I couldn't imagine anyone doing it in my own country. Probably OP is referring to Nazi stuff. But people do get fined for showing birdie at protests. Even though most are dismissed the process of going through the system is the punishment if you have no legal insurance. All in all, I agree Germany is not a restrictive society and has honours tenets of free speech. But i won't compare it to USA. Which is light years ahead.
