Which is how we end up here with a thread full of people morally outraged that a group decided to not tolerate hate speech, harassment, stalking, and driving people to suicide. I think you’re right that a majority doesn’t agree with the content but a majority certainly tolerates it.
The economy of Germany is a highly developed social market economy.[24] It has the largest national economy in Europe, the fourth-largest by nominal GDP in the world, and fifth by GDP (PPP). In 2017, the country accounted for 28% of the euro area economy according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).[25]
The EU has a similar population size, wide censorship laws for this kinda of conduct, and a similar economy size. China has a similar economy and much stricter speech laws. The US isn't economically special because of free speech
The lack of free speech laws means its impossible to accurately determine whether the reported figures are accurate, since the government can just censor what they don't like. So no, I (and I imagine most conservatives) don't accept that conclusion.
We tolerate it legally, but a majority of society certainly does not tolerate it morally nor agree with the content.
