Stefan Niehoff is a 64 year-old retiree who lives in the small town of Burgpreppach in Lower Franconia. He runs an X account with 1,200 followers, where he occasionally expresses his dissatisfaction with the present state of German politics and with the Greens in particular.

In June 2024, he retweeted this image …



… which appropriates the logo of a popular cosmetic brand to suggest that Robert Habeck, our Green Minister of Economic Affairs, might be a “professional moron.”

Habeck and his associates are notorious for pursuing internet users who share highly illegal content of this nature. They brought Niehoff’s retweet to the attention of authorities, and the Bamberg public prosecutor’s office decided that Niehoff was indeed guilty of a criminal speech offence. The Bamberg District Court then issued an order permitting the police to search Niehoff’s residence and confiscate his electronic devices. ...

Armed with this document, Schweinfurt police showed up at Niehoff’s house at 6:14am yesterday morning and took his tablet. Police later told the press that the raid was one in a series of enforcement actions – part of something called “an action day against cybercrime.” By harassing a lot of cybercriminals all at once, police and prosecutors hope to send a message to the people of Germany that they cannot just retweet anything, and that they may only retweet the right things.

Niehoff is being prosecuted specifically under section 188 of the German Criminal Code, which provides especially stiff penalties for those who dare to “insult” our politicians:

"If an offence of insult … is committed publicly, in a meeting or by disseminating content … against a person involved in the political life of the nation on account of the position that person holds in public life and if the offence is suited to making that person’s public activities substantially more difficult, the penalty is imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or a fine." ...

That is how much freedom of expression we enjoy here in the best and most democratic Germany of all time.

Bluesky, which has received millions of sign-ups from angry leftists boycotting Elon Musk’s X platform, has admitted that it cannot keep up with the number of moderation and censorship requests from its progressive user base.

Or maybe that's too white.

German journalist David Bendels is in danger of ending up in prison and has already been ordered to pay a heavy fine for sharing satirical memes – including that featuring Interior Minister Nancy Faeser “holding up” a sign reading, “I hate freedom of expression.”




Faeser, who is considered by opponents as a pro-censorship official, wasted little time in proving the meme’s point: she filed a criminal complaint against Bendels, who is the editor-in-chief of the Deutschland-Kurier website.

Faeser previously “distinguished” herself by attempting to shut down Compact magazine, which leans right, and is therefore an ideological “enemy” of Germany’s ruling class.

Now, Bendels was accused of “defamation” because of several memes posted on X. A court agreed with Faeser and decided to fine Bendels, while if the prosecution decides to further pursue the case, he could also find himself behind bars.

Amazon blocks online reviews of Angela Merkel's memoir after readers submit a raft of harsh political critique and one-star ratings ...

Amazon readers are markedly more sceptical. The world’s largest online retailer reports that Freedom enjoys an unspectacular 3.5-star rating. This figure would be even lower, were it not for all the five-star clapping seals complaining that book reviews are not the place to vent generalised displeasure at Germany’s single most destructive postwar chancellor and that Merkel really was fantastic, really she was. ...

Censorship Industry Decoded, Ep. 2: Proxies, Pretexts & Predicates

In this vid, I explain a handy set of concepts as a guide to the brain of the typical "censorship industry insider" at stakeholder meetings & thought leader deliberations on what to censor next & how to do it.

Washington Post cartoonist quits after paper pulls her cartoon slamming Post owner Bezos ...

Bezos recently pledged to donate $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund. He also had dinner with the incoming president at his Mar-a-Lago residence in December.

Bezos also made liberals, including Post staff, irate just ahead of the election by making the decision that the paper would not be making a presidential endorsement.

Other prominent tech moguls have met with Trump in the months following his win, including Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook.





Telnaes’ Disney reference appears to be a dig at the company being cited as a factor behind ABC News’ recent $15 million settlement with Trump earlier this month.
