@dangillmor It's not only just that, the government MIGHT completley ban the use of Twitter by anyone, or any group, as part of Strafgesetzbuch, It would be a major middle finger to Twitter and the orange haired guy's incoming admnistration, even though they know it might bring trade war to level never seen.
