Noch nie gab es in der Bundesrepublik so viele und so strenge Gesetze zur Regulierung und Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit wie heute. In den vergangenen zehn Jahren ist eine Vielzahl neuer Paragrafen hinzugekommen, um bestimmte Äußerungen zu verbieten. Ronen Steinke zeigt auf, wo neuerdings die Grenzen der Meinungsfreiheit verlaufen, auch im digitalen Raum.
