It seems like we also don’t care what the damage is or else we would make at least some effort to secure our IT systems. Of course the robber should be blamed but those who leave their doors wide open are guilty too. If we care so much about the consequences of ransomware attacks, why do we not act and avoid shitty software that only compromises security and instead built more resilient systems?

Yes, I think this is what we’re gonna see. Even more so once the far right takes power. They will use the anti-hate speech laws against their creators because they are easy to abuse.

Lol, no one who just “expresses concern” will be sued in Germany. It will always be insults and incitement to violence that will lead to this.

However I would say that there have been trials because of really “easy” insults, started by politicians. And here you’ve got a point IMO that these laws are also used for intimidation. As a politician you should be able to tolerate some insults without having to sue each and every offender out there.

Whatever artifacts might be there… it’s a real photo. I know the guy who was carried away.

Yes that moral imbalance also striked me when reading this. When grandma has a gut feeling towards brown people and talks about that, she’d be called a bigot here. But when it’s about men, the highest upvoted advice is to listen to the feeling of fear in your gut…
