I wouldn't say you are overreacting at all. I know someone who was detained for months on US soil after a phone search where the only "evidence" against him they found is illegal content sent by someone else to him on a group chat he doesn't even check. Had to get a lawyer and spend time in prison just waiting to be deported back.

What is illegal content in this context?

Jokes about Supreme Leader Trump?

(I'm not the person you replied to, I have no idea)

[philipallstar]

Jokes about Trump are rife in America, as are leader jokes in many Western countries. These are the last places you will need to worry about that.

You sure about that? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/trump-musk-f...

Isn't Germany an exception to that?

At long as it doesn't involve [multi purpose eggs](https://www.euronews.com/culture/2026/06/06/mehrzweckeier-di...) or calls to violence you should be fine.

I don't know. Can you not make jokes about the chancellor in Germany?

[defrost]

Sure .. just not jokes about how tall they are with a punchline that involves raising an arm to demonstrate.

Insulting people is a crime in Germany. If you said "Hitler was a poopy head" that'd be illegal. But they wouldn't bother to enforce that. If you say it about a real person, they can press charges.

WhatsApp was especially sketchy considering they used to automatically auto-save images to your photo album.
