Germany has lost it. Back in November 2024, a teen in Germany posted "olaf scholz du bastard was soll diese scheiße" ("olaf scholz you bastard what the hell is this shit") while staring at a Fortnite update sitting at 3%, downloading a 37.9 GB patch at roughly 173 KB/s. At that rate the install would have taken over 60 hours. The only had 503 views. Three months later, on February 11, 2025, German police sent him a Schriftliche Äußerung als Beschuldigter, the formal "written statement as the accused" notice. The charge: §188 StGB, insulting a person of political life. A year on he posted the police letter with the caption "Happy anniversary to the funniest thing that ever happened to me." Per his own follow-ups, the matter ended without major consequences, though no formal outcome of the proceedings has been made public. The original tweet seems deleted.
