I am not predicting anything, this is how it has been implemented. You are aware this law is already in effect and thousands have been deleted/banned?

But this debate is pointless because you clearly neither speak German, understand German law, nor are interested in revising your opinion that this is anything other than a fight of the righteous against the bad. The law is likely unconstitutional, widely overreaching, and does in fact delete these things:

There are countless examples, e.g. Facebook censoring satire accounts:

You are celebrating authoritarian censorship because you think it targets the right people. You are calling me out for something you have no firsthand knowledge or expertise on because of tribalism. Stop.
