The action took place within framework of third Action Day to combat Hasspostings, which Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) had coordinated. According to BKA, 20 police departments in Berlin, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Hesse, Bremen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia were involved in raids since early morning.

Incitement of people in social networks or online forums can be punished by a custodial sentence of up to five years. The internet is “not a legal space”, it was said in a press release by BKA. It is equally important to delete hate comments quickly, as offenders prosecute. At beginning of year, Network Enforcement Act came into force. Providers SozialerNetzwerke, including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, have since been obliged to remove or block “Offensichtlichrechtswidrige content” within 24 hours of receiving einerBeschwerde.

Anyone who would encounter hatred, agitation and verbal violence on internet and in social networks, or even victims of such acts, should report to police. In some federal states re is possibility to display criminal offences anonymously via internet portals (accessible for example via BKA website).
