Unique answers from Germany users whose views extended beyond the provided choices.
@9HKB6GR4mos4MO
Yes, but is a very thin line. Each instance needs to be carefully looked at on a case-by-case basis and measured up against the very important right to as much latitude on free speech as possible.
@99MMLBS1yr1Y
Yes, as long as there or no threats involved or racism.
@99GLS7V1yr1Y
No. Hate speech produces a discourse wherein violence is more likely. However, the government must define it carefully, potential through consultations with commissions of experts and citizen's assemblies.
@99D45WH1yr1Y
Yes, free speech is meaningless if it doesn't apply to views I dislike.
@8V6XYSB3yrs3Y
No, freedom of speech is a silly concept
@8V6RSLM3yrs3Y
If some are allowed to spew hate (because it is ordained in their holy books/ideologies), then all should be allowed. If some are not allowed, then all should be banned.
