"Accused" So they had no idea whether or not these people posted such shit. Nice. So if you're in germany and you know the address of someone you dont like, just accuse them of hate speech and they will have their door kicked down. Nice job germany.
Dude. In Germany you are accused till you are sentenced or cleared. And before you can sentence someone you need to bring him court
you dont know what accused means
It's a mistranslation, I guess. In Germany, "beschuldigt" means charged for a crime, but the literal translation is accused.
No that's angeschuldigt, indicted. Beschuldigt means that there's official investigations and you're a subject, before and after the state attorney files charges with a court. Once court proceedings have started you're both beschuldigt and angeschuldigt.
Dunno if there's an equivalent term in English, aside from that caveat accused is a properly proper translation.
Do you know what the word for "accused" is in German?
They're trying their best to speak to you in your language because it's the only one you know.
Cut them some slack.
