Just don't shit post online or you'll be raided by the thought police...

No need to be dramatic.
U didn't see the headline of the 64 year old pensioner who got raided by police for calling Green Minister an imbecile?
Or the 60 minute piece where they talk about all the people they raid for posting racist memes/cartoons?
Maybe take a closer look. The raid was already planned a month before Habeck talked to the police. The old guy had also posted some nasty Nazi content. https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/schwachkopf-beleidigung-razzia-bei-rentner-war-vor-habecks-anzeige-geplant-a-c3f0062f-5d9e-49b5-b02e-53693cf4036a
And you know, freedom of speech has to be weighed against the rights of others and responsibility towards society. The internet is a public place. Yelling at people on the sidewalk, trying to mislead them with made-up nonsense, etc is problematic. Why should it be OK online? Cool to do that in private places (online or offline), but public places deserve a bit more respect. So maybe some people should get in trouble for being nasty.
It's obviously a very tricky balance that requires continuous vigilance and negotiation. But I do think we're in a decent place in this regard in Germany.
Maybe I also just don't understand the attraction of shit-posting. Seems pretty pointless to me.
