German police conduct raids against people suspected of posting misogynistic hate speech online
German authorities have carried out raids across Germany against people suspected of posting misogynistic hate speech online.
In Germany, sweeping slurs against women can be punishable as incitement to hatred.
Communications that are considered illegal include posts in which women are slandered and insulted in a sexualized manner, or publicly encouraged to send nude photos. The authorities also flagged posts that advocated rape or sexual assault or that distributed videos of torture or killing.
The raids concentrated on suspects who had set their sights on well-known women like female politicians

When "send nudes" gets you arrested
(It’s a good thing though, some comment sections are completely insane)
I'm pretty sure that's not enough. But let's try it out.
@GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip: Send nudes!
Am a dude, it needs to be directed at women I’m pretty sure
Let's be honest, there are ONLY dudes on Lemmy.
Concerning. But we all know there's more to it.
Absolutely, but they weren't arraigned as far as the article suggests. Also the language of the article is really suggestive. Intolerance can not be tolerated, and perhaps the police coming around to have a chat with intolerant people is a good thing. It's concerning it happened but yeah, doubtful that's the full story.
