A master of the art of confrontation this is growth of measuring of verbal combat doesnt mean youre going to see for yonks why the undisputed champion of tough political talk trying to frighten people you know crucified everybody understands it except you enter the conflict zone and join into sebastian as he holds the powerful to account this is a fix for you whichever way you like to spin conflict zone. D. W. Online hate speech is a powerful thing sometimes all it takes is one tweet or post by a user and suddenly theyre hit by tons of insults and threats but is hate speech so dangerous that it should be censored or is freedom of expression more important hate speech versus free speech our topic today im sure. According to facebook only one in a 1000 posts were white contains hate speech the targets are often individuals like homosexuals muslims or women who get hundreds of replies per day to something theyve posted but online hate speech can also target entire ethnic groups and it can escalate tensions and incite real violence says the u. N. Special adviser on the prevention of genocide big must stop this start. Always weaves more action and linkage no one would. Talk it that the whole look cost was preceded it. By his friends the crabs and hate speech continues to escalate tensions and animosity between groups here are 2 recent examples. Be in mark. An open Smear Campaign on social media against her hinge of muslims a deadly crackdown by mia mars army sent over 700004 hinges fleeing the country. Conflicts with the Muslim Minority has flared up time and again for centuries. Its been mars population gained access to the internet in 2014 targeted misinformation about the region was disseminated. South sudan. Here hate speech and social media has found the flames of civil war and further divided the country 64 tribes. Platforms are used to spread propaganda targeting particular groups. In south sudan online attacks have also often been followed by physical assaults. But what about if hate speech is only online or some say that this is so hurtful that it should be forbidden others call that censorship they argue that we should be free to say exactly what we think so wheres the line between 8 speech and free speech the answer to that largely depends on the country you live in. Not even legal experts admits to separate free speech and thinks in a clear and by the way means as renowned American Civil Liberties activist the dean struck. Speech refers to motion which is. Subjective and. Your own more. Than that has been you bought. Its hands are being in here arent we they and subject to the discretion who ever has power to enforce at. The top of that definitions variant different parts of the world denial of the holocaust for example is illegal in 1000 European Countries but even here freedom of speech is upheld as a dog you were protecting kitty is strong herself the daughter of a holocaust survivor nonetheless she says censorship isnt the right tool to his against hate speech. That well im and as in censorship it is it ends up doing more harm than good and that is specifically true with respect to all cost denial or any other kind of disinformation or misinformation in fact any kind of censorship the natural human reaction is that more attention is drawn to the very message that one is seeking to suppress. The former chairwoman of the American Civil Liberties union or a. C. L. U. Is convinced that honest discussions are the only way to overcome distance between opposing sides counter speech is a very important factor and by that i mean any use of your freedom of speech ours to persuade educate him. Or do anything you can to advance the cause of the messages are equality and inclusive and then diversity and dignity and to rebut the counter messages. But there are limits and these individuals are directly attacked except to the ted constitutes a criminal offense such as libel or threat of bodily harm is. Its no longer protected its freedom of speech. Tech companies have started taking more actions against negative content on their platforms nowadays because laws in europe have been tightened but there is still plenty of hate speech on social media because that kind of content. Money. Speech is controversial its highly emotive and edge attracts clicks critics maintain that Companies Like facebook and you tube are well aware of and actively promote the spread of posts containing extreme content those books algorithm for instance long favored potentially controversial. Because they get more views and they to people spending more time on the platform which increasingly news. This was because they pursued growth in a way that was reckless. To promote content in a way this is ational stuff would get more exposure if you take extreme measures to get rid of all hate speech then youre going to slow down the growth of. Facebook projects these assertions the company says it has 35000 employees deleting hate speech posts. In the 1st quarter of 2020 facebook took down over 9 and a half 1000000 inflammatory posts a new record according to laws in Europe Companies are only obliged to take down hate speech after it has been reported but in close groups content is only visible to members so its unlikely hate speech there will get reported because posts are being seen by like minded audiences this is true for chat groups and also for Online Gaming communities where hostility can be expressed in a different way. To the Worlds Largest p. C. Games platform is not without a fight. Players who can beat it shooter games theyve developed selves to bicycle home. Sexual or jews and others. Far right groups have links to close to hate speech groups on telegraph these have clear rules that if you. Have a well known he committed violent offline to become a member thats what i wanted to get. I wanted to prove myself to say that im here you notice me. Thats why i beat someone up i told the leader and even sent him a picture. At took that photo to prove i belonged to the group. That this is my family and i had to do anything for them. These days kevin no longer hangs out and right wing chat groups in germany of the majority of hate messages on line about 3 quarters comes from right wingers about my percent are bible leftwing extremists and 40 percent cannot be definitely assigned to any political orientation according to germanys federal criminal police what i find especially interesting is that about half of all like for hate comments come from a really small number of users only about 5 percent experts have long known that hate speech campaigns are often well prepared and carefully timed only someone whos been targeted by such a complaint can know how devastating it can be someone like Stephanie Palmer from eastern germany in 2015 she launched an initiative to help refugees in her hometown. In 2015 a sentiment that freitag was turning against refugees stiffy prop 2 thought that an organization to promote openness and tolerance she was suitable barlett put on by heat messages. You should be ready to go and get out of town we have the baseball bats ready to go. Things like that. Thats come down that was just the beginning for milk lodge was also blown up and people call her at night. And thats as if youve got this kind of felt like it was coming closer and closer than one might come home and they would immediately lock the door behind me and then i would 1st take every room holding pepper spray in my hand corked or almost bordered on paranoia where to cleanse. But i think at moments like that being afraid can be good to a certain extent because it makes you cautious and alert and. The hostility she experienced almost has left its more its. Its good talk of the primary days when the verbal attacks just roll off me i can stand there and say oh come on you can kiss my butt on this guitar and there are days when it really hurts when all at once i fall silent and take a step. Thats horrible and a lot of people have had similar experiences there are going is a chance that specialize in dealing with hate speech and digital ourselves to help those who have become targets of hate campaigns one is hate in berlin the 1st thing hate and hate employees try to do is to stabilize hate speech victims emotional axed by scum hostile content for posts that could carry legal consequences. Not all those attacked wish to file charges this also has financial reasons then. If youve been libeled or threatened for a post and you go to a lawyer who says all right well take it to court youre facing at least 2000 euros and costs and if you lose you have to pay the other sides legal fees thats another 2000 euro or 8 any advice is people free of charge. If someone cant pay the court fees the organization offers legal aid. And also provides practical Online Security culture. Into the isnt a huge problem online right now our attempts to get peoples private data by their home addresses our childrens schools. We help them comb the internet before the haters do and hide that sensitive data. A good 500 people have contacted the organization over the past 2 years 65 percent were female when women or girls are attacked online tracts often have sexual connotations many attackers remain unknown shielded by the anonymity of the internet. Recognizes that its important for people to be able to be anonymous online. But if someone violates the law she thinks their identity shouldnt be protected. A huge problem we have in germany and in almost all European Countries is that acts are committed on line. Which courts rule are punishable by websites or dont hand over the culprits data so basically theyre protecting the guilty ones there we have to say clearly this has to change. Eventually mental court rules that an offense has been committed then websites have to be compelled to cooperate. Im grateful to say ive never been targeted by hates each have you how do you defend yourself against abuse and hate speech on the internet let us know on facebook or you tube i and see if.

Use and isolation wards relatives and chaplains are prevented from visiting the sick and dying. Of of course the troubles the relatives they ask who was with my father my brother my son well what should have to dial for. Germanys Health Care System has risen to the challenge many critically ill patients have been saved d but many people dying of covert have been denied visitors for weeks on end. And weve seen this medicine can heal the body but the soul requires love for it to heal and thats what is being the glad did hear those stories for us these are the sites of. What needs to be done so that covert patients and their relatives dont suffer psychological trauma. Patient is transferred to the kobold center at the University Hospital in essen western germany currently there are 12 patients being treated here the new patient is unusual hes just 29 years old. This is a patient whos come from some distance away he was receiving noninvasive breathing assessed as but it was insufficient weve connected an artificial long put him on life support of the woman he was brought here by helicopter with. This 29 year old patient isnt in a high risk category yet each day the doctors discover more alarming symptoms the sars kovi to virus. Hes not only attacking his lungs his heart liver kidneys and probably his nervous system are also affected the doctors are worried. What i have when somebodys so ill that they need assisted wreathing by means of an artificial along theyre in a dangerous condition over here about a 3rd of such patients die but this is a case for concern. On their rounds doctors observed the young man through a window of only certain nursing staff and specialist positions are permitted to enter the intensive care unit and then only with personal protective equipment all the patients on the i. C. U. Ward are completely isolated even those who arent infected with coded the isolation can last for weeks. The patients are very stressed when theyre awake theyre alone locked in a room of all everyone who enters has to be totally masked so the staff dont enter as often as they would normally be opening the door and looking in so that the patient doesnt feel so alone i live with. A relative or hospital chaplain is only permitted to see the patient when the doctors have given up hope but the patient often dies before that final visit this is new to me and its very painful the Hospital Chaplains you want and very hard for the relatives so on its no longer possible. Extreme its part of our culture not to leave the time and i will die and thats why i could i would emotion. With light on coleman. 87 year old gilford hoax and his son georg know what dying in isolation means. This little courtyard was ana marie sprite enjoy it was her garden she was beautifully talks wife. Thats our wedding photo. So for good ana marie and bill for talks got married in 1963 they had 2 children this picture was taken on their golden wedding anniversary in the 1st months of 2020 ana marie was taken to hospital the doctors diagnosed acute blood poisoning she was taken to the i. C. U. Her condition seemed critical but she could still receive visitors. Or you could letting her on an artificial long was a difficult step or those low so that was the last time i saw her alive or. No she wasnt conscious but i was able to hold her hand and i could tell that she knew i was there. Sadly that was the last time i saw her. With the pandemic restrictions everything stopped. For me the worst was that i couldnt visit my wife mother for. Those who drove. March the 16th a monday germany imposes on lockdown schools and kindergartens close factory shut down the hawks find themselves standing in front of closed doors at the hospital visits are no longer permitted. Timor zelman is head physician at the intensive care unit ana marie hooks is one of his patients she has tested negative for coven but the whole hospital is in lockdown even close relatives are not permitted to visit. If and. I think relatives play an Important Role in the healing and care process and puts it nobody knows the patient better than their own relatives no one is more familiar to them than the partner or the children you know. But at that time it was absolutely impossible which i regret deeply cities that all were. The result was often traumatic. Think it does this in time or protests or at least for accompli i think it complicates the process of grieving. For one thing people feel guilty if i wasnt there i couldnt be there and also because certain things couldnt be sad or experience. And things that help with the grieving process help relatives to accept the panting of the lockdown certainly made it harder to comment its hard to see clearly where. Anna marie hooks didnt appear to be dying so the doctors didnt summon her relatives. So it soon became clear that in cali attempts situations where the patient is expected to die quite soon relatives could be permitted to visit them again but this patient wasnt in that situation at all. After 50 days in the i. C. U. Ana marie hawkes is sent back to a non intensive ward she knows nothing about the lockdown regulations outside she cant understand why shes been placed in isolation on top of that shes hard of hearing so she cant really follow a telephone conversation with her home small for cre did try when the nurse its your son she said oh georg when are you coming to visit me. If you cant come this morning can you come this afternoon wish those who could. And i realized shes not understanding what this pandemic means we hear all the banning of visits from the door to do things because. She received good medical attention but for more than 7 weeks neither the chaplain nor any of her relatives could visit her. Then unexpectedly an ameri hooks died alone. The homes we surely surely for we abandoned her somehow increased the loss of. Normal and that still hurts. Us. Theyll fruit and georg folks know that theyre not alone in this situation during the 1st phase of the pandemic some 2000 hospitals and about 12000 Senior Citizens residences in germany who are in lockdown for several weeks hundreds of people died like ana marie hopes without comforting words spiritual solace or the consolation of relatives. And they hope will be a lasting side this can cause stress in later life. We see it in our walk with patients from the psychosomatic department including where the subject of grief dominate our conversations. Is the limit is in part in the grieving process is our delight or prevented from occurring lip. Then 5 or 10 years later they return sometimes in the context of a depression with i mean that if it is your own or then i have to be walked through again was in his i can well imagine is happening as a result of the pandemic and. I think that. The hawks family feel a mixture of sadness and guilt they have to deal with a death where there was no opportunity to say goodbye it makes bill fred hawks angry. Unfortunately there was no opportunity to talk because of the terrible situation and it still weighs heavy on me that they prevented it all humanly speaking a disaster countless all for. The have having us on the highway we always stuck to the rules that in retrospect i think we shouldnt have. Had to last i realize now that maybe i should have hope for my father to be allowed to visit and that we shouldnt have simply accepted what the authorities said or. Animal daughter lives more than 3 hours drive from her parents home when she heard that her mother had died she set off immediately not realizing that the distancing regulations extended even beyond the point of death but inside from harvest and i am at that point i didnt know it was really the end. That i wouldnt be able to see her again i expected to be able to see her if you know paula. The. Funeral directors had strict orders once the coffin was closed it should not be opened under any circumstances no further contact not even a glance at the body Hospital Chaplains argue that more humane methods must be found even in the midst of a pandemic. By minute shouldnt forget that Hospital Chaplains are used to dealing with haitians who are in isolation for where we have to protect ourselves from becoming infected or as is for the clinics we saw count of the situation regularly and hospital and in differing sonar use your id say the whole situation was a bit more threatening than other situations because it was like a. Nektar threat and was experienced on a subject that will likely. Lets look at an example this hospital chaplain in essen was summoned to the i. C. U. To see a covert patient. He stopped someone had to be stacked. Against the top of the ward contacted me directly because i was on duty and i rushed over to coleman busking i actually it wasnt complicated i was mad as usual you own and they explained to me that the patient wasnt a church goer but that his faith was important to him and what kind also his connection with the evan jellicoe jerk was different sort of. Its been done i put on the protective clothing quickly including the f. F. T. To mask and was taken to the room where this elderly patient lay luck i then removed my mask for a moment so that he could see my face like a normal bit of mine because it just seemed con and interested and i noticed that when i spoke about his family he was very moved. But i could sense it but were out. Here is fun to talk and on the following day he died saturday i also had the opportunity to speak to his relatives on the phone and tell them about it will be when i got the impression that it comforted them to know that their father hadnt passed from this life without christian consolation or not even considering social causes and leave him regardless. But even though Hospital Chaplains can sometimes stretch the regulations the painful dilemma continues at funerals. When the urn containing Ana Marie Cox ashes was taken to the cemetery no more than a dozen mourners were allowed to attend. Cheer on talwar here it is difficult and sad to have to say goodbye sayat 12 we gather here in the cemetery during unusual times i. Fall we would have liked to honor your wife or mother and your grandmother with a grand funeral. Thats not possible at present. The whole want to get even in these limited circumstances let us give the departed a worthy sendoff even for the cable. Folks have many friends in the town they belong to clubs and to the church in normal circumstances there would have been more than 100. 00 mourners at the funeral. On a memory hoax faced death alone now in the cemetery its her family who are left alone with their grief. The funeral takes place on what would have been the couples 57th wedding anniversary they had never been separated for long but in the 7 weeks before her death they were unable to see each other. Thats how you know when i have a slight katon its just as i was very sad when i heard that ga are normally he could have visited her in a non intensive ward. Or can usually visit in daytime toss but not now. They were married for 57 years and then he couldnt see her at the end i want to marry and its talking to him i think thats very very sad and it scholems as a talk of. A Senior Citizens residence in western germany in the spring of 2020 visits are banned since people over 60 are at high risk on a lawyer i shot had been living here for about 2 years. She feels quite happy with some to call about to take care of her the management has assigned specific staff to individual residents to minimize the risk of infection. For some weeks no more a son martin has only seen his mother from a distance. Ironically he lives close by before the covert outbreaks he used to take one afternoon a week. Off work to give his mother an outing they used to cook up a dinner in his small kitchen and played board games afterwards his mother looked forward to it. Is beans and small i always went on a monday but not anymore. Its hard to know now we can only talk with him outside and inside i think she says she felt lonely ya know i miss my family but we have to get used to it. With you cant do anything about it only cooperate and meet is no alternative and. Basically were neighbors 1st of all. Just imagine if there werent any leaves on the trees wed be able to wave to each other the residence is less than a kilometer away as the crow flies its not far away at all but it might as well be on the other side of the moon. We dont meet up we tramped. On the. Suddenly the situation becomes dramatic 5 residents die within a few days of each other as a result of covert 1900 or high shark has made friends with another resident the 2 women have spent a lot of time together. Form a talk on a laura and her nurse talk about how the 2 friends used to be together throughout the morning and afternoon. They had had breakfast and even lunch together as usual when suddenly her friend was taken to the hospital just before their afternoon coffee and. 3 days later hunted moron learns that her friend has died in the hospital. Good to see. It hurts but i couldnt say goodbye to her she was such a lovely person when i came here she made herself available immediately helped me with all sorts of things im really very sad that she died. Weve opened should be. Nobody can explain to martin cash out how the residents became a covert hotspot now all the Senior Citizens are confined to their rooms the staff is in quarantine its scarcely possible to provide any spiritual consolation to the residents their relatives or the staff. Youngsters minimal to come but i was terribly scared that my mother would get sick. I would lose my mind if i couldnt see her just the thought that she might die of covert 19 the fact that i couldnt be there with the miss indian for one thing and then touch up but i remember we live in the same neighborhood and theres just a door separating us one and a door im not allowed to enter to be at her side. I cant stomach the thought like that i cant bear it. The least being on myself which also. In normal times its the job of chaplains to help in such cases to listen to give encouragement and comfort but in many regions of germany the pandemic restrictions make that impossible. And i think we should learn from this experience when in fact when the infection rate rises again and there are more sick people who are. Thus we shouldnt impose such complete prescriptions that the dying are left alone i just think or must. Say church must insist on this via its q shell ive been rather disappointed in the church as a reaction to these its failures to say this is a situation and. Somebody has to be present at the patient wishes at a i thought he saw that a person isnt left to die a lot of buzz or michelle lie to get us in view that instead someone should be allowed access he wanted call. For martin when i shot the situation eases somewhat on may 10th mothers day. One relative at a time is permitted to visit a resident for one hour tables are set up in the lobby the management is taking no chances you will see during the difficult 6 weeks on a laura was able to talk to her son on the phone or at least shes asked to describe the differences between a telephone call and a personal visit wondered. Whats the difference between a phoning and a real visit to point not hows that for you yes it is a sure you should be so real it is it is nice you see each other. But you recognise each other on the phone as its not so bad. I was always able to talk to my son that was possible but now we can see each other again. Thats nicer isnt it is. Able to meet face to face at last. Hospitals have learned a lesson but that doesnt mean its back to normal coven patients in a Critical Condition are still taken to Specialized Centers the i. C. Use in germany currently have sufficient capacity and the doctors are gaining experience every day. With. The rest of the University Hospital in s. And was able to save the life of the 29 year old we saw earlier. 2 days after he came out of the coma he try to remember what it. It happened and how he got there. You know think through all of us on this market but i collapsed at home because i couldnt breathe properly. It was all too much. So i have a few that i felt hot and i couldnt breathe. And then i had my girlfriend saw what was happening on. The side and i asked her to call an ambulance wanted to come to us on. In the artificially induced coma he was unaware that his life was hanging in the balance for 3 weeks. 200 kilometers away his family had to be content with information issued by the hospital. With us as always one of our successes is no longer being ventilated no longer on life support hes even taken a few steps we got also so were currently looking for a rehab clinic for him before he can get fit again. Kevin young is transferred to a rehab clinic specializing in cope with patients it has an isolation ward its some 200 kilometers from his home this is from loved ones would encourage him and help him recuperate. But the fear of infection is even stronger. But theyve got it as the numbers are still a long way to full recovery before because once was i was all of us but we cant be certain that its no longer infectious or might become Infectious Diseases so we and the other doctors are very cautious about patients and his condition remain isolated until we can be quite certain because im. Currently awnings girlfriend his mother and his stepfather are hoping to see him in the rehab clinic after 2 days. They take him fresh underwear and. Jogging suit the young man must do exercises to get fit again but they are in for a disappointment. The app we could hand over the bag that wasnt a problem keeping our distance that of kevin we see that we werent allowed to see kevin at all that we werent even allowed into the building the fear we might be infected with covert on loud adult day and he wasnt allowed to come outside the finals presumably because of his finish and. They have no alternative but to accept the situation for the present they arent even allowed to see kevin from a safe distance of the room its at least 6 weeks since i last saw him if wed just been able to see him at a window or the reg last door it wasnt possible because of the covert restrictions i dont know if hes really Strong Enough to handle this on his own that also included. The pandemic is far from over more than 14000 people infected with the virus have died in germany but hospitals now recognise that these extreme cases where patients are left alone for weeks or even to die alone must be avoided at all costs.
