Rebecca HailYou cherry-picked yourself examples from a pool of over 100000 cases over the last ten years and think they're for some reason relevant enough to make statements about the entire legal framework from them.

It takes just one counter-example to prove me wrong. How many examples does it take to convince you? Give me a number.

The Court found that the national courts had provided relevant and sufficient reasons for interfering with Mr. Nix’s right to freedom of expression.

If Germany had a censorship with bias for the government it wouldn't be ranked 11th when it comes to freedom of press. There is a censorship in Germany, and that censorship is biased for democracy (or rather, against undemocratic ideologies) and also punishes the use of unconstitutional symbols if said use doesn't fall into one of the exceptions. But you'll ignore that probably again, since it doesn't fit into your narrative.

Aleksander MajjamI find the language very satisfying to the ears. Then again, anything other than boring ass English is a joy to listen to, IMO.

Rebecca HailA single counter example would be equally insignificant in terms of statistics.

It would be enough to convince me.

Synthya WylderAs I recall, it wasn't a matter of by how much, but if it occurred at all.

IMO, even one would qualify.

Saka: Judge, after seeing my evidence today, I will convince you that the moon is a crescent shape, and not round like most idiots believe.

That reminds me of the story of Happiness Stan, who wondered why the Moon hung sometimes full moon all scintillating dangly in the heavenly bode and other times only half.

Indeed!

Funny thing is that Stan listened to reason, thus becoming more knowledgeable in the end.

We should all strive to be like Stan.

Aleksander Majjama lullaby in German in a sultry tone.

Brace yourself for disappointment, because there's no way to speak German that way.

I've always found German to be a delightfully camp little accent... but that might be from growing up with 'Allo 'Allo and having a gay German work friend.

This.

If indeed there are thousands of acquittals, and I just cherry-picked a few convictions, it cannot possibly be that hard to find at least one acquittal to blow my entire premise out of the water.

Rebecca HailThere are thousands of acquittals but you want one acquittal for one very particular case (Merkel doing a nazi salute) and I'm not willing to look through thousands of verdicts to find that one specific case. Since you at least implied that you speak German, you should have no problems whatsoever to look for them yourself. Again, I do not need to disprove your claims.

You made the claim that the german censorship acts in favour of the current government, particularly Angela Merkel, so please go ahead and produce meaningful evidence in form of expert opinions or a study instead of the anecdotal evidence you cite constantly.

Since you continue to cherry pick what you respond to, I assume that you have no response to the point about freedom of press.

Your behaviour in this discussion continues to be dishonest and annoying.

Oh, it doesn't have to be Merkel. Any chancellor, minister, president will do.

Rebecca HailI do not need to disprove your claims.

Again, if you can't find a case, produce one. Make a parody of the Stern cover, as a proof of concept. I would accept that, too.

But I can't set the bar lower than one case, sorry. Zero evidence proves nothing.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Rebecca Hail

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I wonder who said that. But you'd never ever have double standards, would you?

There is no double standard here, but a logical fallacy in your argument. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but you argue that it's evidence of presence. In fact it is neither of those.

I told you, it takes only one acquittal to convince me. How many convictions does it take to convince you? Is there a way to convince you at all?

Rebecca HailAnd no, there's no way to convince me with anecdotal evidence. If you want to convince me bring either some expert opinions or show me a peer reviewed study that comes to the clear conclusion: "Germanys poltical censorship acts in favour of the current government.".
