AfD Kompakt, July 30, 2021

A good day for freedom of opinion – though the [Federal Constitutional Court] judges actually have obviously warned of the social media giant Facebook. It may no longer at discretion and without further ado silence its 30 million German users.

Naturally it is right of Facebook to delete and to penalize culpable content, yet criticism of the government, of the left-green Zeitgeist, of the Corona preventive measures, of the immigration policy must be allowed.

Who here censors is moving quite close to the anomie of totalitarian forms of government. Freedom of opinion is a central foundation pillar of our democracy and is unmistakably codified in Article 5 of our Basic Law.

The Alternative für Deutschland stands up for this like no other party.
