Germany has been accused of violating basic Western values yet again, as a news editor in Germany faces a hefty fine and a seven month prison sentence for posting a meme mocking the government’s “hatred” of free speech.
German Journalist Given Seven Month Sentence for Meme Mocking Gov't
A news editor faces a hefty fine and a seven-month prison sentence for posting a meme mocking the German government's "hatred" of free speech.www.breitbart.com
The Bamberg district court in Bavaria sentenced Deutschland-Kurier editor David Bendels this week to seven months in prison on probation and a fine of nearly sixty per cent of his annual income, or 210 ‘daily rates’, for posting an image on social media of Interior Minister Nancy Faeser holding an altered sign.
The common meme tactic of changing the words on signs held by politicians for satirical purposes was used to make Faeser’s sign read: “I hate freedom of speech”.
Bendels was initially convicted in November, and the ruling was confirmed on Monday, finding that he had committed “defamation directed against people in political life,” Die Welt reported on Tuesday.According to Bendels, it is the first time in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany that a journalist has been threatened with prison for breaching the statute.
Why do you think they don't have freedom of expression? Trump has sued multiple news agencies for defamation, on a lot flimsier grounds. If NBC altered an image of Trump saying something he didn't, pretty sure he'd sue them. In Germany, the offense of defamation of a political figure can lead to a 6 month to five year prison sentence. That's their law
It's just a pretty large dose of hypocrisy that it's crickets from people on the right including this message board when it's being done in this country. You guys all start wearing the tri corner hats again and pretend you actually give two shits about basic rights when it's a Nazi in Germany arrested based on their laws for defamation.
Do you believe any of this should be illegal?
?
The sentence is suspended. The OP forgot to mention that bit.
I do. As do most other people.
Clearly.

That's your problem.
You forget that this happened in Germany which, in your total ignorance of the country and its laws, you also fail to see is not the US.
You know nothing of this case, as usual whenever you spout forth in total ignorance of what you speak of.
He's not arrested, @Juin is on one of his abundant trips into the world of his most favored fantasies.
But do you believe a crime even happened here ?The sentence is suspended. The OP forgot to mention that bit.
I do. As do most other people.
Clearly.
This is prison? 60 Minutes goes to Germany
Germany's prison system keeps convicts comfortable, costs less and has lower recidivism rates, but would Americans ever accept it?
That's your problem.
it's also open to appeal, something that will probably succeed when the perp (as he will) takes it to the next instance.
Forum rules preclude me from commenting on his horse shit.I do. As do most other people.

Verdict is out, pending final decision of courts.
in your opinion?
The court believes there was. We'll see what the appeal court rules.
In your opinion?
I think the libeled person would have been better advised to not give this scumbag the attention they all so desperately crave, by simply ignoring the whole thing (rather than taking it to court).
Whatever anyone on here believes or not is as irrelevant as you opinions on the whole matter.
