Ok, ok, ok, nu bliver det sjovt! På Instagram er statsministerens søn gået amok over videoen og har startet 3 tråde: Venstrefløjen og palæstina-støtter fortjener ikke rettigheder, Danmark er det bedste demokrati i verden, og han har aldrig været bange for politiet!

Tør du sige magten imod? Hvornår har du sidst gjort det? Meget apropos 1984, som ikke kun handler om overvågning, men om iboende frygt. #chillingeffect #menneskeret #dkpol #dkjura #nøgenvisitation

Why should this matter to everyone? Because when marginalized groups lose their platforms, all of us are at risk. These laws create a slippery slope for censorship that could affect anyone engaging in non-mainstream conversations online. #Censorship #ChillingEffect

On a side note, it's criminal how far you have to go on Google looking up "Just a Gigolo" before the Tony Slattery sitcom turns up. #ChillingEffect en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_a_...

"Gehe hart mit Demonstrierenden um, dann trauen sie sich nicht, weiter zu protestieren".
Derart wildes um sich schlagen mithilfe von Strafanzeigen, Repressionen, Bürgerbeschimpfungen und weiteren Überwachungsbestrebungen zeigt, wie groß die Unsicherheit der #Regierung ist.

Die scheinbare Trumpeligkeit des #Kulturstaatsministers #Weimer soll vermutlich gezielt Kulturschaffende abschrecken, sich zu kritischen Fragen zu äussern.
Die #Reichskulturkammer von 1933 hat angerufen und möchte ihren #Faschismus zurück.
BKM lässt Jury-Listen erstellen: Weimer macht genau das, wofür er ins Amt berufen wurde
Das Vorgehen des Kulturstaatsministers wirkt stümperhaft. Aber es erzielt den gewünschten Effekt: Selbstzensur in der Kulturbranche.
