Yes. And a big reason I am considering to move to the US. Germany (and most of Europe) is getting more and more scary.
The big question is can free speech go too far? If I threaten to murder your family and "in my opinion" accuse you of horrible crimes--again in my opinion. When does it go too far. I am US Citizen living in Germany for over a year now, and I appreciate these laws.
Threats of imminent violence are illegal in the US. False accusations fall under libel laws and are a lot murkier.
We have the Fifth Article of our Grundgesetz. The difference lies in how Germans and Americans understand „freedom“. Americans have an ultraliberal, individualistic definition of the concept; Germans are more ready to restrict an individual‘s freedom to protect others‘.
