Who Hates Germany's New Hate Speech Law?

Trending

Available for over a year

We investigate new German legislation which will force social networks to delete hate speech - or face massive fines. Some support it, and the government is determined to go ahead, but critics say it will restrict free speech. Also, how the online row over a media start-up officially endorsed by Hilary Clinton has exposed the deep split in the Democratic Party. Plus, some of the trends of the week - including a lovelorn pianist and a seven year old neurology expert. Presented by Kayleen Devlin Produced by Will Yates Picture caption: Syrian refugee Anas Modamani (left) and Goetz Froemming, a candidate for Germany’s anti-immigration AfD party, disagree about the need for Germany's tough new online speech law.
