The problem is likely the many references to the Durban Conference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Conference_against_Racism_2001

From the article:

NGO repudiations of the NGO Forum’s Declaration

edit

Several NGOs, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights, disassociated themselves from the language of the NGO Forum’s Declaration that dealt with Israel and with Jews.[5][26] The Palestinian Solidarity Committee of South Africa reportedly distributed copies of the antisemitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.[27]

Just don’t do it in Germany or you’ll end up paying a lot more

When you said storage room I immediately had the mental image of a barrel falling on worf on my mind. Did it happen that often?

That guy sure is afraid of his wife.

“We” didn’t do shit. People in 1776 did, today’s Americans wouldn’t reject it out of fear for consequence to personal comfort.

You’re reading it right. Not sure how one could read this any other way.

However, misunderstanding content online is often framed as a boomer thing so OP’s comment still works surprisingly well.

It’s a multiple choice question. Also the headline is false. The question is:

“What action relating to the state of Israel is prohibited in Germany?"

The correct answer is “publicly calling for the destruction of Israel".

That headline is false. You do not have to affirm Israel’s right to exist.

You have to know that it’s illegal to call for the destruction of the state of Israel. That’s not the same.

You call them police proceedings, but it’s the public prosecutor’s office (Staatsanwaltschaft) that is calling the shots. Regardless, the article also states that two of the highest courts called the Verwaltungsgerichte have decided that the phrase isn’t illegal per se.

Of course it is illegal in the context of glorifying Hamas terrorism, as it should be. That also puts a responsibility on organisers of protests to make sure that they distance themselves from people who are ambiguous in their distancing from hamas, that’s a positive thing in my opinion.

I’m not denying my privilege, but I’d argue that I’m more aware of my biases than you appear to be

Nope, not true. Stop spreading misinformation just because you want to get public praise.

You will not automatically get deported, but it will be made easier to deport foreigners who are praising terrorism. There’s a big difference. You always have legal recourse against this.

That’s important because the phrase “from the river to the sea” is not illegal praise of terrorism in Germany, even if you may have heard so from your equally misinformed bubble. While its use shows that the person saying has a big problem with accepting that a complex situation will certainly not be reflected in a catchy sentence, and that it may be time for that person to just excuse them from a discussion they are very likely not a part of, it is not illegal.

Why? Because courts will have to make the decision whether its use in a specific context was illegal, and more often than not it won’t be.

You’re missing the point. It doesn’t matter what you or I believe, if a person has accepted that a big corporation knows everything about them and use this as a reason not to take action or prevent them from knowing more, then the Doctorow quote doesn’t apply.

That doesn’t work for the “the big companies know everything about me anyway” line though

Can’t blame anyone but yourself if you use Google tbh

I replied to the wrong comment

Glad to see procrastination got the better of him

My iPad has 3GB RAM and honestly that’s enough. I don’t know what you do on your tablet, but for my everyday activities I have never felt limited

Shitney

Yeah, I got that. What I wanted to express is that likely the opposite would happen. People just want cheap shit and don’t care about enshittification.
