Original Note:
NNN. Post and article are correct. Germany did in fact decriminalize the possession of child sexual abuse material by reducing it from a felony - as it had been since 2021 - to a misdemeanour. This penalty reduction constitutes decriminalization by definition. https://www.bundestag.de/presse/hib/kurzmeldungen-1002810 https://www.bundestag.de/presse/hib/kurzmeldungen-992354 https://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/inland/bundestag-senkt-mindeststrafen-fuer-besitz-von-kinderpornografie-19726285.html https://www.cducsu.de/presse/pressemitteilungen/pauschale-herabsenkung-des-strafrahmens-bei-kinderpornographie-ist-ein-falsches-signal https://www.das-parlament.de/inland/recht/mindeststrafe-fuer-kinderpornographie-delikte-soll-sinken https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/decriminalize
