Yeah the oppression of speech in Germany is depressing, you have to be careful of what you write online or you get one of the Meldestellen on your ass (government-funded NGOs) and they will want to destroy your life. There were a lot of high-profile cases in the last six years. Applauded by the media (because they "combat hate speech") and enabled by the EU (thanks to the DSA Trusted Flagger program).
Swastika not being allowed in Germany except in educational or historical context is not exactly a novel change. So, the article can stuff itself with that assumption.
And it can stuff mentioned free speech hero JD Vance who want Europe become fascist again too.
Not trolling, this is my opinion. There has been a sacralisation of the Holocaust, and blasphemy laws are a consequence of this. When you prosecute someone not for promoting or excusing Nazism but simply for evoking it without the due respect, you are repeating what religious authorities did for centuries.

Just a tad biased https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason_Foundation
Everyone is biased. If you don’t have a counterpoint then your comment not helpful.

We're clearly in "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain" territory here- where God is the Holocaust, which Hitler represents.
Please don't troll
