This is an article that I came across a while ago that speaks to a number of instances in Germany and the UK of people arrested for speech that would be considered acceptable in the states.
Things like calling politicians idiots, giving the middle finger to someone, and insinuating government policy is ineffective.

I was able to open that link through archive.org, and searched for "finger", but it wasn't found. I assume you made it all up?
Yeah, none of that is criticism of policies themselves, it’s all attacks on people or individuals.
"Attacks" with a middle finger?
Show me the story, and it it’s as portrayed (someone went to jail for flipping a politician off), I’ll change my mind.
Until then, it’s made up.
Not to mention that it’s irrelevant to the the original point about hate speech and migration but whatever, you managed to change the goalposts now defend the new ones :)
