Twitter could be facing slew of fines in Germany over illegal hate speech

Most countries don't tolerate hate speech where the poster(s) implies a particular group is evil and/or out to ruin civilization or "flush our wonderful culture" or similar. It's not even necessary, as you can say "I'm bothered by somebody doing X because such and such reasons...". Contrast with "Group A does X, and causes big problems because...".

Germany ended up in the middle of a nasty war due to such hate speech.

MTG going around calling everyone "pedos" is disgusting from a law-maker. Maxine Waters is also known to be inflammatory. And I won't even get into the tinted person here.

One can expect nothing but dishonesty from the press in this area.

When reporting on criminal offenses, care must be taken to ensure that mentioning that the suspect or perpetrator belongs to an ethnic, religious or other minority group does not lead to a discriminatory generalization of individual misconduct. As a rule, the affiliation should not be mentioned unless there is a justified public interest. It should be noted that mentioning it could fuel prejudice against minorities. - https://www.presserat.de/leitsaetze-zur-richtlinie-12-1.html

In contrast, no care is needed for positive news, and identifying immigrant background moves to the start of the title:
