Without the market muscle of a block like the EU legislation like this just goes nowhere. Facebook etc would just say to an individual nation 'OK then we're leaving, look how that helps you next election' The UK's online harm legislation only stands a chance because the EU has its DSA So its is the EU's doing solely? No, the moves for this long predate Brexit and the UK was very much on board. |

The conglomeration of discretion away into distant and unaccountable international bodies, provides for far more potential to oppress populations. It also allows for fewer exceptions - ie examples of people doing better by doing something else |

Critics have described AfD as far-right and bigoted for its opposition to mass immigration. President Frank-Walter Steinmeier reportedly hinted earlier this month that the country might need to ban the nativist party to protect German democracy. The state-funded German Institute for Human Rights argued last month that the AfD is hostile to the country’s constitution and therefore could legally be barred from election. Steinmeier warned that “enemies” of democracy could soon hold enough power to erode German freedoms and “brutalize” society. “ We have it in our hands to put those who despise democracy back in their place,” he said, apparently alluding to the AfD.
German intelligence officials have suggested that AfD members are becoming more “extreme.” However, the party is currently backed by more than one in five German voters, second only to the ruling CDU/CSU coalition, according to the latest polling. Alternative for Germany (AfD) party lawmaker Beatrix von Storch has been targeted by a protester, who smeared her with dog excrement at an event in the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Von Storch, 52, said she had filed a complaint seeking the prosecution of her attacker.The incident occurred on Friday evening at a forum in the small town of Daun. A 35-year-old man entered the venue, where he approached von Storch and “soiled her with dog feces under the pretext of wanting to take a picture with the speaker,” according to a statement by local police. The unidentified assailant was immediately taken into custody by officers and “briefly resisted" arrest. Source swentr.site/news/581935-protester-attacks-afd-politician/ |

To ban AfD would be a huge step on the road to oppression and dictatorship.
Best to show their more extreme arguments up for what they and if any of their more extreme members break the law then deal with them using the law.

They tried that in Italy, so they move the goalposts anyway and frustrate any effort to represent the Italians. Apparently they going to stay in the EU and change it from within, so the EU being wise to them, just frustrate them at every opportunity. Even by flying illegal immigrants around Italy. |
