Whenever a German politician speaks of hygiene, run the other direction

and get your military prepared to respond. Nothing good can come from it.

Especially when they say things like this:
Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) has once again spoken out in favor of a mandatory real-name requirement on the internet. During a meeting with winners of the national competition Jugend forscht (Youth Research) in Berlin, he reaffirmed his position.

"Please, nobody come to me with 'free speech,'" Merz said, according to report details. "This has nothing to do with free speech anymore." He added that such a view is, at best, a "libertarian understanding of politics" stemming from parts of the United States, which he personally does not share.

Merz emphasized that a liberal society must be able to protect its citizens—including protection "against false information, personal disparagement, and discrimination."

'Protect its citizens' meaning "We have to keep them from hearing unapproved information, and thinking there's something wrong with the government telling them how to live!  We must have proper order, and that means keeping people from hearing just anything that we might not approve of!"

Yeah,  Like politicians in Australia want the law to prevent people making fun of them.  Very important, that is, much more important than some idiot 'free speech' idea.
