It's just one of the sixteen units that prosecute 'hate speech' cases in Germany.
Oh, by the way, the Chancellor himself is calling to demolish online anonymity completely: https://dpa-international.com/politics/urn:newsml:dpa.com:20...
But sure, abuse of power is so rare. Nothing to see here.

This would make your point if those hate speech cases were all the same as your Andy Grote example.
Otherwise it's like pointing at one defendant winning a road traffic law case due to dashcam footage showing the police were making things up, as evidence that all road traffic law prosecutions are abusing power.
The current chancellor is also a right-conservative jabroni, so don't equate what he demands to what the German people want.

The German people elected the parliament. The parliament elected Merz. The margin was narrow, but that was the decision.
That does not mean that everything the chancellor says or does is something that the majority of the people would stand behind, does it?
