German law enforcement authorities on Thursday carried out raids across Germany against people suspected of posting misogynistic hate speech on the internet as part of of a coordinated push to shine the spotlight on online violence against women.

Police raided homes and interrogated 45 suspects in 11 states early Thursday. None of the suspects were detained, Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office said in a statement. Another 37 suspects were already searched and interrogated in previous weeks and months.

The raids were part of a “combating misogyny on the internet” day of action, which comes one day before International’s Women’s Day.

“We are observing how online platforms are increasingly becoming the scene of hate, harassment and discrimination, also targeting especially women,” said Holger Muench, the head of Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office.

“Today’s day of action makes it clear: we consciously go into the spaces of hate, identify acts and perpetrators, take them out of anonymity and bring them to accountability.”

Muench said the initiative grew out of a joint project by investigators and prosecutors two years ago who worked “intensively on the prosecution of misogyny online.”

“online violence against women”


I understand that people can be hateful online and incite violence online but I cannot grasp how one can be violent online. Perhaps I’m holding on to an outdated definition of ‘violence’.

In Europe, the far right is Fascist and the far left is Communist .... there is no center.

Never mind the actual physical rape and beatings the German Fräulein are subjected to. Dennis Prager is right, whatever the Germans do, do the opposite.

This is great! What it means is there is NOTHING of any real danger to the German state. They must be bored to death and searching desperately for something to do with their boring lives.

Raided their homes for saying things that they found offensive. Things that hurt their precious feelings. Picturing some limp wristed German bureaucrat at his computer (b)eating his schnitzel, when suddenly… a misogynistic statement caused him to curl up into the fetal position sobbing.

People can be a-holes, but… raiding homes?!
