Over half of the 24,000 far-right extremists in Germany are potentially violent, the Interior Ministry has said. The opposition FDP wants extremists tracked where they communicate: in online game platforms.
Konstantin Kuhle, internal affairs expert of the liberal FDP, on Friday demanded that German authorities focus "more strongly" on communications by potential far-right assailants, including those allegedly organizing and chatting via gaming platforms.
Far-right content stayed viewable "for years" on the internet, Kuhle told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung (NOZ) newspaper. The issue of violence shown online and radicalization in online games and forums resurfaced after the massacre in istchurch, New Zealand, was broadcast live by a lone gunman on Facebook.
