Germany's spy agency claimed to have secret intelligence that the nation's most popular political party was "extremist." It lied. It just had a list of things it found offensive, including criticism of Bill Gates, which it labeled anti-Semitic. It's a "Stasi-like" report.

The statement criticizes a public figure, Nancy Faeser, accusing her of being a threat to democracy and free speech. It uses strong language, comparing her actions to those of the Stasi, and calls for her removal from power. The tone is accusatory and alarmist, aiming to provoke concern about her influence.

    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not respect the dignity of the individual, engaging in a personal attack rather than a constructive critique. [-2]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement lacks constructive criticism and engages in ad hominem attacks, failing to promote dialogue. [-2]
  4. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement uses its platform to influence public opinion but does so in a manner that may not contribute positively to societal discourse. [-1]
