"Dozens of police teams across Germany raided homes before dawn in a coordinated crackdown on a recent Tuesday. The state police weren't looking for drugs or guns, they were looking for people suspected of posting hate speech online.

As prosecutors explain it, the German constitution protects free speech, but not hate speech. And here's where it gets tricky: German law prohibits speech that could incite hatred or is deemed insulting. Perpetrators are sometimes surprised to learn that what they post online is illegal, according to Dr. Matthäus Fink, one of the state prosecutors tasked with policing Germany's robust hate speech laws.

"They don't think it was illegal. And they say, 'No, that's my free speech,'" Fink said. "And we say, 'No, you have free speech as well, but it is also has its limits.'"

Sounds like what was happening here with Twitter execs cooperating with the Biden administration to shut down anyone they didn't like.

Do you mean the Ivy League indoctrination centers? I didn't even apply to those. I went to a good school that was cheaper because I paid my own way. Also worked nights while going to school full time and graduated debt free.
