>In Germany and its lapdog Austria there’s the mandatory impressum: fully doxxed whether you want it or not.

Yep, the big eye-opener for me was when that Austrian politician complained about being "harassed" by someone calling her a "corrupt traitor" on Facebook, so the Austrian authorities got involved and the person behind that account got doxxed and charged with libel. Unreal.

In Austria/Germany the freedom of speech is only free until it impacts the elite. Then you get the book thrown at you.
