This is not true at all. The German Government is asking Facebook to delete comments which could be categorized as hate speech (&quot;Volksverhetzung&quot; in German). These comments are not &quot;negative of her policies&quot;, they are calling on people to kill, gas or otherwise attack refugees, politicans or journalists. They are simply asking Facebook to comply with German law.<p>Some comments comparable to those in question are curated at a tumblr blog (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;perlen-aus-freital.tumblr.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;perlen-aus-freital.tumblr.com&#x2F;</a>). Those comments are anything but a political statement against Merkel&#x27;s policies. They are born out of pure hatred.
