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

    Weren’t people literally arrested for supporting Palestine?

    I’m not aware of any peaceful protestors that were arrested for supporting Palestine.

    At least in the Soviet Union speech was protected consistent to a particular ideology.

    That’s not free speech.

    What ideology is it that supports Palestinian genocide other than imperialism?

    Not sure where you see this ideology propagated in Germany.
