Can you update the header accordingly, please? The "The_Donald" still points to the thedonald.win address which is not working anymore.

Couldn't find any further info in English. German Police said they were looking for someone else and won't disclose more information: https://twitter.com/PolizeiMFR/status/1329685255427592192

It's hard to tell whether it's true or false, but regardless this was not a good example about German freeish speech, my bad.

Maybe a better one is this article about police raids: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/20/world/europe/germany-36-accused-of-hateful-postings-over-social-media.html

Or the hate speech articles related to Germany from Deutsche Welle: https://www.dw.com/en/hate-speech/t-38698844

There is this caveat:

False information is not an object worthy of protection from the viewpoint of freedom of opinion (54 BVerfGE 208, 219). The deliberate assertion of untrue facts is not protected by article 5, paragraph 1 of the Basic Law

It sounds cool, until you question "settled scientific facts" like covid instakills grandma or global warming destroys humanity in 5-10 years unless we pay more carbon tax.

As far as I'm aware freedom of speech situation is not that awesome in Germany if you dissent from the "mainstream" thoughts, so to speak.

For a recent example search for "german doctor live stream raid" on your favorite search engine and look at your preferred source.

Not sure what you're referring to, but unfortunately I'm not too familiar with the legal system so even if I knew I probably couldn't answer.

I'm not aware of a Canadian counterpart, but as far as I'm aware Judicial Watch is "just" a civilian watchdog organization, that uses the legal system to get information from the government, then does the legwork, processes all the documents, investigates, then publishes/sues if they find something.

They use the Freedom of Information Act in the US a lot, we have Access to Information Act. If I'm not mistaken the purpose is pretty much the same: to be able to get documents from the government they otherwise don't intend or reluctant to publish, but I don't know the specifics of either.

So I don't see why there couldn't be a Canadian "Judicial Watch", I guess it's a question of willingness, competence and resources: time/money. Based on some of JW's publications and interviews it's not exactly a bureaucratic joyride what they're doing.

I think it's supposed to be livestreamed here, if someone doesn't want to watch a news networks coverage: https://www.cpac.ca/en/

Based on this, probably not: https://www.flickr.com/photos/luna715/3445642935/in/photostream/
