Michael wrote that recordings showed how a single student was surrounded, humiliated, beaten, and kicked by a group of ten people in front of a school in Frankfurt (Oder) – also to the head when he was already on the ground. The participants filmed the violence for social media. This case was only one of such incidents that became publicly known; in many schools, violence is part of everyday life, even if it does not always occur so brutally, he wrote. To protect the victim, he used a pixelated video. He did not want to further disseminate unpixelated recordings that were also being spread on X. #Schulgewalt #Mobbing #Gewaltprävention (translated)
Daniela Seidel wrote that sharing content that glorifies violence is punishable. However, documenting a brutal act of violence and disseminating it out of outrage is not automatically glorification of violence. Section 131 of the German Penal Code explicitly exempts reporting on current events, she wrote. A blanket threat of punishment strikes her as an attempt to intimidate the public and critical voices. #Gewalt #Meinungsfreiheit #SozialeMedien (translated)

Felix Perrefort reported that Tillschneider referred to Jewish culture as part of German culture when asked about the AfD's position on Jewish life in Saxony-Anhalt. He described it as deeply rooted for centuries and referenced evidence of Jewish communities since late antiquity. Furthermore, Tillschneider spoke of a German-Jewish cultural symbiosis and announced plans to hold conversations with representatives of the Jewish community. Perrefort wrote that Tillschneider's response had nothing to do with extremism or National Socialism. He believed that the accusations brought to the public by public broadcasting and government parties all the way to the Chancellery were lies. He also doubted that Steinmeier or Klingbeil would have responded similarly confidently and sympathetically, and without diversity clichés, and recommended the interview. #AfD #JüdischesLeben #Kultur (translated)
