    Germany operates draconian privacy laws, whereby even the media must get the consent of someone they photograph, or disguise their features.

    Thats not “draconian” you idiots, thats how this should always work. The issue is that he is out of prison despite already being convicted for multiple other child sexual crimes. The guy should be in prison for life, so i dont understand how he isnt.

      The British News media finds it Draconian because the idea of not being able to kidnap people of interest and force them into “bombshell” interviews is considered tant amount to North Korean.

      This is the country where one of the major newspapers hacked the phones of random people and broke into celebrity’s homes to get information. They hacked the voicemail of a dead schoolgirl, making people think she might still be alive after they deleted a voicemail.

      You might be arrested for saying a group shouldn’t be proscribed or calling for certain people to be killed, but newspapers here get away with doing and saying alot worse on a daily basis and get praised for it. The Mail and Express papers regularly call Judges traitors and activists for following the law when it comes to minorities they don’t like, then call them harsh when the law applies to people they do like.

      The papers here hold a lot of power and they use that power, primarily, to benefit the right.
