As always I'm wondering why journalists who somehow did not even protest the passing of article 12 that will shovel their money to the rightsholders simply don't ask the German government why the hell they are backing a company that blatantly.
Forget it, Glyn. Both Angela Merkel (CDU) and Katarina Barley (SPD) already stated they won't give a fuck about violating the coalition agreement that said they would oppose upload filters. None of them will interfere against that directives being passed.
Oh, look, the manifesto's footer shows a copyright by Helga Trüpel. Not CDU but almost as bad as Axel Voss when it comes to misrepresenting the current state of affairs and articles 11 + 13. You just need to listen to Sascha Lobo's interwiew with her:

How would you asshats know? You haven't posted anything well reasoned or insightful EVER.
The point isn't to win the lawsuit. The point isn't even to keep the cow from becoming famous. The point is to garner press for Devin Nunes (which seems to have worked, because here we are) and to allow him to engage in conservative, imaginary grievance politics. Sure, why not sue an imaginary cow for your imaginary grievance?
It's the same reason that every election cycle, red-state legislators introduce dumb bills like "anti-sharia law" bills, "no aborted fetus tissue in food" bills, and "make students pray again in public school" bills, along with various anti-abortion measures:
It whips up the base, proves the candidates passion for conservative causes, and it lets them see what will stick to the wall (e.g. they have been systematically trying every possible way of limiting women's access to abortions to see just how far the Supreme Court will let them go - along with trying to stack the bench on the court - ,ost of the bills will be declared unconstitutional, in part or in full; if it's only in part, they can analyze the part that was found to be Constitutional, and see if they can leverage that further to restrict access to abortion).
"If you think being called an asshole and having your bullshit deconstructed is harassment, you have a simple solution: Stop coming back to a site you hate."
The better thing would be for him to stop being an asshole but I guess that'd be way too hard for him. Pity.

It'll be funny to see it finally dawn on you asshats how much the shitstain of Trump has damaged the Republican brand. Whenever you'll make a moral argument someone's gonna dismiss it with "the pussy grabber party says what?".
