The HN title is editorialized. The original title is 'Delete Hate Speech or Pay Up, Germany Tells Social Media Companies'.

"Delete Hate Speech or Pay Up, Germany Tells Social Media Companies" is the original title and a much better indicator of what's actually happening.

It sound like a paradox, though. Does the survival of free speech require the policing of speech that threatens free speech?

Sensitive title, where do we draw the line between free speech and slanderous hateful content? We need to change this title to reflect what is being written on the site.

What a clickbait title. I'd welcome "free speech restriction" that forbids misleading titlea.

This opinion is deeply offensive to me and I demand that HN censor it.
