Advice on hate and agitation on the Internet. – Bavaria

In order to protect against hatred and agitation on the Internet, messenger services are to be more closely controlled by politics and the judiciary, also according to the will of Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU). The minimum is in any case that there are more sanctions and more restrictions for messenger services, which are a special distribution channel, said the CSU boss on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting in Munich. Söder announced that he would consult with Justice Minister Georg Eisenreich, Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (both CSU) and the hate speech officer of the Bavarian judiciary, Munich Public Prosecutor Klaus-Dieter Hartleb, on the subject on Wednesday. “And then we will put together an overall package of demands that are important for us to respond to,” said Söder. The new Federal Minister of the Interior, Nancy Faeser (SPD), recently announced that it would crack down on hate speech and calls for violence on the Telegram messenger service.
