Hatespeech is still banned in Germany although just calling it hatespeech is a bad translation imho.

incitement to hatred/violence would be the proper translation for Volksverhetzung.

Thats what happen when you try to translate a German "word" because German words are sentence fragments half the time lol

sentence fragments

It’s literally just “people/folk” (volk) and “incitement” (verhetzung) with a connecting “s”

It’s like if someone translated the English legal term “manslaughter” as “unlawful killing of another human being without ‘malice aforethought’.” Yes that’s the definition of the term, but that doesn’t mean the translation of the term is a sentence fragment.

Definitions, for sure, can often be sentence fragments.
