German press cheered when the German government enacted the Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz ("Network enforcement law") a few years ago which forced Social Networks, regardless of their origin, to block and/or delete things that could be considered illegal within 60 minutes.

In fact, the law was so well-designed that Iran, Russia and China quickly copied it.

Everyone always forgets that if you create a sharp sword, it still can be wielded against yourself. Abuse of censorship infrastructure is only one autocrat away.
