Oh nein! Die SEO-Industrie geht pleite!

On second look:

Accusations against school monitors reported by parents across France include children being screamed at, pushed, having their hair pulled, being denied food, forced to eat until they vomited and being sexually assaulted or raped.

That's actually believable. Untrained people lose their temper and assault kids, but there are only a few cases of rape.

Quick google says that France completely outlawed assault on children only in 2019, though schools had been instructed not to use such punishments in 1991. Systemic failures to correct the monitors seem unsurprising.

Bisher gibt es keine Studie, die eine Zuckersucht nachweisen konnte. Auch dass Süßes eine Sucht auslösen kann, gilt nicht als bewiesen.

Hmm?

84 preschools, about 20 primary schools and about 10 daycare centres,

Indeed. That sounds unbelievable. And that's a red flag.

Weißt du nicht was Sucht ist? Da geht's nicht darum, dass man etwas lieber mag als anderes.

I have no knowledge about the UK, but I can say that was the case for Germany. Gun control in the modern sense only began after WW1 when large numbers of weapons fell into civilian hands.

In the 19th century, shooting practice was mandatory as part of the military system; reserve and conscription. Kinda like how it still survives in Switzerland. But as the UK rarely had a need for large land armies, the population was not militarized to such a degree.

Die Depublizierungspflicht gilt für die öffentlich-rechtlichen. Das wurde von den privaten Medien herbei lobbyiert.

Sowas wie das Internet Archive war sowieso schon immer hochgradig illegal. Denk mal an die Rhetorik zum KI-Training. Die gescrapten Inhalte über die Wayback Machine noch mal zugänglich zu machen, ist natürlich nochmal schlimmer als sie nur intern zu verarbeiten.

Die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek archiviert Webseiten, allerdings nur in sehr kleinem Maßstab. Um das einsehen zu können, musst du größtenteils in einen Lesesaal gehen, wegen Urheberrecht.

Besonders besorgniserregend ist, dass insbesondere auch Medien sich aktiv an der Vernichtung von öffentlich zugänglichen Dokumentationen beteiligen. Viele Rundfunkanstalten löschen etwa die Hinweise auf vergangene Interviews oder Berichte bereits nach wenigen Jahren im Rahmen der Depublizierungspflicht, andere Medienhäuser löschen Meldungen, ändern Überschriften und URLs oder ganze Textabschnitte geräusch- und hinweislos. Damit missverstehen Journalist:innen ihre Funktion. Sie sind nicht nur Berichterstatter, die die Öffentlichkeit heute informieren sollen, sondern gewissermaßen auch Archivar:innen unserer Zeit für nachfolgende Generationen. Ein Gespräch, das im Radio zu hören war, hat nie stattgefunden, wenn auch der letzte Mensch, der es gehört hat, verstorben ist – außer, es gibt eine Dokumentation darüber.

... Es gab vorher schon theoretische Modelle zu diesem Thema, die bisher aber nicht empirisch bewiesen waren.

Man beachte auch, dass es keine Erwähnung von süchtig-machenden Tricks gibt.

Not quite. And throwing feces would certainly constitute a more serious crime.

Insults are prosecuted at the request of the victim (with very rare exceptions). Usually, people don't bother. However, police officers are known for their well-developed sense of personal honor, and they hang around police stations, anyway.

Important difference between Germany and EG the US: German prosecutors must, by law, investigate all potential crimes. You're right that such an investigation into an insult does not usually merit significant resources. Much depends on how well staffed the prosecutor's office is. Bavaria is notorious for having time for all those little things (see the warnings about weed).

You can expect them, say, to look up a license plate and send a letter to the owner requesting a statement. Insults while driving are also seen as having higher priority, on account of the danger posed by losing your cool while driving.

Someone who has been accused more than once, will certainly merit more resources. Insults against police officers are also higher priority and usually end badly.

You'll visit BMW (Rollys-Royce, Mini), I expect.

If you notice a picturesque brick tower in the vicinity, that's a Hochbunker from WW2. There's more than 1 around there.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Hochbunker_in_M%C3%BCnchen

Munich was not bombed very much, on account of being so far inland. Nevertheless, the hill you can see when you're at the BMW museum, consists of the rubble of buildings that were destroyed in the war. It was turned into a park for the 1972 Olympics. The terrorist attack that took the lives of most of the Israeli Olympic team mostly took place nearby. If that's of interest to you, you could watch Spielberg's Munich.

You may notice cars with an unusual look (see photos here). Those are prototypes. You can see a fair number of these (BMW & Rolls-Royce) in the area. In German, they are called Erlkönig (elf-king) after a poem by Goethe.

Insulting people can result in criminal prosecution in Germany. Also giving the nazi salute, repeat nazi slogans (or any such display of anti-constitutional allegiance).

Amazing.

Europe is reliant on US digital services. There is a worry that the US government could use this to pressure us. This may be the first instance where Europe's access is limited (or delayed) because of US government decisions.
