Re: And is there an actual definition of hate speech attached to this bill?

In Germany, even questioning the established narrative of certain historical events (most famously the Holocaust) is illegal. People literally go to jail for years for this.

Restricting speech because the speaker has the wrong opinion on something clearly goes way beyond restricting direct incitements to violence or such.
