While voting is now getting considered a statement of ideological alignment (see Reddit banning people based on their vote for unsavory posts, and people in Germany being prosecuted for 'liking' a violent crime), my vote on the original post was to signal my interest, encourage posts of that sort on this website and to raise awareness, to encourage potential corrections.

"people in Germany being prosecuted for 'liking' a violent crime"

Do you have a link for this?

Can't find the article about a specific case, but according to the link below it appears that a new law specifically includes "liking" as punishable in serious cases.

Thanks though the article is very sketchy on "liking"
I agree.
