This is just the world we live in. Trump has hundreds arrested on the daily for the crime of „not voting for him“ or „saying he is old“

Ah yes, that’s certainly some text. Do you have the rest of the pixels so one can actually read it?

Gab is a cesspool, can’t find what was actually said but the request states “sexualized and denigrated” so we can assume it went beyond calling her fat.
This was also more than a year ago so nice try, turns out the actual fascists are still the fascists.
SecretiveSailor@lemmy.world 5 months ago
They just added “sexualized and denigrated” to make it sound more important. In the original comment, it was just calling her fat. Plus even if the comment sexualized and denigrated, is that a reason to take someone’s basic freedom away and throw them in a prison cell?

Do you have a copy of the original post? If so, share it, otherwise you’re just saying words with no evidence.

Now this is truly a shit post. It looks shit and reeks of shit made by a shitty American I assume.
You know your constitutional given right of free speech, yes? Yeah but that doesn’t entail being free of consequences. Or as the cool kids say: fuck around and find out.
Defamation of public figures has to have consequences especially when they are so god damn shallow as calling Ricarda Lang in 2024 a fattie.
You also don’t go to jail over this. But the Platform Provider Gab not cooperating with law enforcement is the real scandal here.

I don’t give a shit about this post or any argument happening, but I am curious about why you think defamation of public figures specifically, has to have consequences?
I am not a fan of defamation against anyone, but I give the least amount of fucks for any politician. (Maybe one or maybe half of a fuck is given in their case.)

I think that people don’t have to take shit from bullies and we have laws to help victims in this regard.

Lmao GAB is an American platform. They have no obligation to cooperate with Neo-Nazis from Germany ordering them to turn over personal information to imprison an innocent internet user. In fact GAB did the right thing by protecting that person.
Calling a politician is not “defamation”. Are you high, friend?
DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 months ago
Ah yes of course, we all are just neo-nazis here in Germany.
Sod off arsehole and go back to actual fascist USA.

Who are the Neo-Nazis in Germany again? You don’t seem to be an expert or even an informed individual on this issue. Not even in the slightest.

USians somehow tend to think their constitution applies worldwide 😂
SecretiveSailor@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah freedom of speech SHOULD apply worldwide. Do you support North Korea?

First, the BKA is no GeStaPo like the American ICE. It’s more like the FBI, but more professional.
On the other hand, this is a normal request for identification of a potential defendent in a criminal case. They have reason to assume the person is German, and public diffamation (not only of politicians, this applies to anyone) is a crime.
SecretiveSailor@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If they want to arrest someone for calling a politician fat, They are WORSE THAN ICE! That’s not professional at all. A professional does not get deterred by random internet comments calling them fat.
And I don’t care what the laws are in Germany, they just suck.

Go back to your third world country and stfu about countries you know nothing about, even less about its laws and constitution.
Either stay within the confines of your knowledge, or shut up and listen to what others are trying to make you understand.
Don’t wonder why Americans are seen so negativity abroad, you are part of the problem.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If it had been only that, this would not have happened. The BKA is a very professional police force. So there must have been way more. And this has nothing to do with her being a politician (except maybe for the reasons of the perpetrator).
But it is the law here. This is not America. And that is good, looking at what is happening there. Which could not happen here.
What you might think to be morally right or wrong. The world is not America. Thank goodness for that.
The first sentence of the German “Grundgesetz” (Constitution) is “Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar”: Human dignity is inviolable. Think about it.
