German police raid homes over Facebook hate speech
Operation targeted 60 people accused of posting far-right content to a private Facebook group

Police in Germany carried out house raids across the nation on Wednesday, targeting people accused of posting hateful content on social media. In a press release, the country's federal police agency (Bundeskriminalamt, or BKA) said that the homes of around 60 people were searched on Wednesday, and that most of the suspects were accused of posting anti-Semitic, xenophobic, and other extremist messages. The operation was carried out across 14 provinces, involving 25 police departments, and around 40 legal investigations have been opened. This marks the first time that police have carried out nationwide raids over hateful content posted online, the BKA said.
Germany has seen a recent surge in online hate speech, fueled in part by the ongoing refugee crisis. The country accepted more than one million asylum-seekers last year, mostly from war-torn Syria and Iraq, sparking some far-right protests and xenophobic violence. A survey released by the Pew Research Center this week showed that six in ten Germans link refugees to an increase in terrorism, and that the influx will harm the German economy.
""These words should not poison the social climate.""
In response, German authorities have sought to crack down on hate speech on Facebook, Twitter, and other online platforms. Last year, Facebook formed a task force to more rapidly remove hateful content, after Germany's minister of justice accused the site of being too slow to censor such material. In December, Facebook, Twitter, and Google agreed to remove racist and xenophobic content within 24 hours, under an agreement with the German government.
In its press release, the BKA said that the operation carried out this week aims to combat a "strong rise in verbal radicalism." The suspects are accused of posting hateful content to a private Facebook group between July and November 2015.
"The action carried out today shows that the authorities are acting firmly against hate on the internet, which has grown considerably in the wake of the refugee situation," Holger Münch, head of the BKA, said in a statement. "Attacks on refugees are often the result of radicalization, which begins on social networks. These words should not poison the social climate."

Something similar starting up here in Yankee Doodle Land.

No pictures, but, judging by names, they all might not be black folk.  Just anybody criticizing the cops a wee bit too much.

And, don't you Germans - or any of you other Euros - start complaining about your rights and freedoms, because...well, just look what happened, right on time:

I guess it's similar to France where cars burn down daily around slums.

They want their land and sense of self back. Germany has been a land under occupation ever since the NSDAP merged with the Zionist party to make the NaZi, or Nazi Party as we spell it in english, and has become the common spelling to hide the origins.

Lonsdale clothing, is popular or was, because if you open your shirt, it shows the letters NSDA. The problem goes much deeper than what shirt you wear. The average german male is so suppressed in their upbringing, that they become wet towels, unattractive to women. Or extremely violent. Their schooling is overly academic; people that go into trades are looked down upon by those who prefer academia.

Whatever the BRD and it's meatpuppets can do to divide them up, they have. A natural move towards center (by males) is opposed as racist and violent. Coordinated peer groups are bought and paid for by banking shareholders (rothschild party) to keep people separated. AntiFa and other groups are artificial.

60 homes raided. This is only a social pressure move. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions agree. Meanwhile we are told that 60 were found on facebook.
