Allegation of hate speech
<!–

The publicist Birgit Kelle was allowed to criticize the non-discriminatory language on Facebook when it came to topics about Sinti and Roma in her post from mid-March. According to the Krefeld district court, Kelle’s Facebook entry is not hate speech.
Facebook received an injunction from the Krefeld district court on Wednesday and now has to restore a Kelles posting from March 15. The court was of the opinion that she could express her opinion, said the journalist with the comment “Mark Zuckerberg go home” on Facebook.
«We could just speak German»
In a posting on March 15, 2021, Kelle wrote: «Sinti * zze and Rom * nja – from there I just get out. I think nothing discriminates more than this stupid spelling, with which probably not a single Sinti and Roma identify. We could just speak German. ” She herself comes from Romania, says Kelle, “there Gypsies were part of the street scene, and they were called that because they called themselves that.”
The reason for the Facebook entry was an article by the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency by Gianni Jovanovic, who has been campaigning for the rights of Roma and Sinti for years.
For years against «gender gaga»
Birgit Kelle thanked the lawyer Joachim Nikolaus Steinhöfel and the “Freedom of Opinion in the Net” fund, which had donated money to deal with the case. “We are all now waiting eagerly to see how long it will take Facebook to undo the deletion,” said Kelle.
The journalist has been protesting against gendered, gender-equitable and non-discriminatory language for many years under the heading of “gender gaga”. “It’s still allowed in this country,” wrote Kelle.
