Torture Hoax and Acceptance
News agency spread hoax - and the frightening thing about it: nobody really notices. Ok, sure, with Google one could have researched the name and then realized that it's not real. But what's really frightening is that in the current times, it doesn't seem unusual at all when someone screams for more torture - we're already throwing everything overboard that makes up our democracy, so a little torture doesn't stand out anymore. So I'll save myself the snide comments about the quality of journalism, but rather wonder what kind of society we live in when we almost expect such demands for torture ...
Rather strange
Sorry, but this ice rink story is quite dubious:
According to Mayor Wolfgang Heitmeier, the city had the snow load on the hall measured as late as Monday noon. The limit value for the hall roof was not exceeded in this case. An ice hockey training session scheduled for 4:30 PM was nevertheless canceled. Today, Tuesday, the snow was supposed to be shoveled off the roof.
If the training was indeed canceled, there must have been specific concerns. If these concerns existed - why wasn't the hall simply closed? Somehow, it sounds like someone didn't think very far ahead. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes; some mistakes you just don't want to make.

How to Shirk Responsibility
In all cases known to heise online so far, the criminal complaints have been about the offer of a single file. According to the new regulation, these suspects will therefore probably no longer face any criminal consequences in most cases. However, since the public prosecutors are advised to determine the personal details of the suspect in each case, the Karlsruhe law firm will also continue to receive the desired information upon inspection of the files in order to be able to proceed civilly.
Means in German: the public prosecutor does nothing more than request the provider to identify the user - probably a form letter in which only the specific data is entered. The providers still have to look up the data - even if it's just about a trivial file. The users are still identified and entered into the record - and then have trouble with the law firm because of the warning. The law firm continues to make a fortune.
Great solution.
If a procedure is to be closed directly, there is also no reason to determine personal details and play into the hands of the law firm. But here it was not about the citizens, it was only about avoiding work for the public prosecutors.
