EXCERPT:
ALFONSI (on camera): “In the United States a lot of people look at this and say, 'This is restricting free speech. It's a threat to democracy.'” BALLON: “Free speech needs boundaries. And in the case of Germany, these boundaries are part of our constitution. Without boundaries a very small group of people can rely on endless freedom to say anything that they want, while everyone else is scared and intimidated.”
