minus-squareGroteStreet 🦘@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months agoBear in mind that “free speech” just means you can’t be arrested for what you say. When someone’s talk is being boycotted or - in this case - refused entry to a region, their free speech rights aren’t being infringed. That said, I (and the French, it seems) agree with your sentiment, this is totally an appalling move by Germany.
