However, Gloden emphasised that 'vigilantism is unacceptable in a constitutional state and will not be tolerated.'

He said the police have repeatedly called on citizens to report any criminal act or danger to another person and not to share it on social media, 'as this disrupts and prevents the work and investigation of the judiciary and the police.'

Gloden explained that Luxembourg’s transposition into national law of the EU’s Digital Services Act will define and enable the possibilities that the police and judiciary will have to remove social media content and prosecute vigilantes.

'This procedure could work similarly to that of the Terrorism Content Online law, where administrative measures can already be taken in the field of terrorism to remove content from the internet,' he said. Witnesses could also be offered the opportunity to report content to a so-called trusted flagger, the service provider or even the police.

Trusted flaggers are special entities under the Digital Services Act (DSA). 'They are experts at detecting certain types of illegal content online,' according to the DSA."

No one was arrested for pointing a gun at migrants, though one of the armed men had a domestic violence conviction, public records show, and could not legally carry a weapon."
