German Prosecutors Think It’s Funny People’s Homes Are Being Raided And Their Devices Seized Because They Said Stuff On The Internet

I'm not from East Germany, and not inclined to argue with those justifications. They sound valid and despicable.

Let's also not pretend that this law which is justified for the reasons in your post is being consistently applied to those ends.

The article mentions that they are hitting 95% rate of failure to convict, which tells me that the laws are being applied capriciously.

Speech laws being applied capriciously are definitely a tool in the despot's pocket, and the article also mentions seizures that were unlawful and apparently politically driven. Insulting politicians should never result in charges or property seizure like this, especially when the laws being wielded purport to protect the vulnerable.
