I have concerns about Twitter's handling of Germany, in particular, in regards to handing over user information in response to Tobias Schmidt's Nazi harassment campaign against sex workers, and even, a sex researcher.

Did Twitter push back against these governmental requests? Or did they bow like in Turkey to authoritarians?

What's wild about the whole Schmidt saga is how one obscure bureaucrat from one particular region in Germany decided he wanted to save the children from the evil porns (a red flag as ever), so he ran a campaign, filed lawsuits, and twisted the arms of other people to go in and start harassing adult creators.

One. Guy.

Oh no, someone under 18 might see pornography. Whatever will we do. The sky will fall. This is the worst thing ever... This is so stupid.
