- Manuel_D 4y agoI'm very skeptical that these sorts of prosecutions are carried out without bias. > Last year, Christian Endt, a journalist in Berlin whose coverage of Covid drew a steady stream of insults online, reached a breaking point. After an anonymous Twitter user had called him “stupid” and mentally ill, he embarked on a mission to see if he could get the person prosecuted. I really wonder how many people who called anti-lockdown users "stupid" and mentally ill got prosecuted. In practice, this laws end up privileging one "correct" opinion over others.
