For every German potentially exposed to illegal hate speech via Twitter. Musk should have done his homework.

Germany’s history and laws against Nazi-style hate speech are no secret. Just ask the Murdoch family why Fox Noise was denied the right to start a German language version of their toxic U.S. channel. They didn’t fight the ruling, by the way. It’s not like they were trying to deny what they were or what they were trying to do.
