Original Note:
The post says (from a US perspective) that insult is not a crime, and quotes Germans saying it is a crime under German law. No Note Needed. Actually, not all insults are crimes in Germany. Some (but less and less) insults are protected by the constitution and freedom of speech. https://se-legal.de/criminal-defense-lawyer/defamation-libel-lawyer-germany/insult/?lang=en
