During the past 24 hours X has been limiting posts referring to German government statistics showing that 41 percent of all crime suspects are foreigners despite making up a much smaller percentage of the population.
In at least two instances, the platform flagged posts citing the stats as violating rules against 'Hateful Conduct'.
Our own post linking to a recent article on the matter was limited, with a note stating “As a result, your post may stay on the platform but we have limited its reach.”
Dr Eoin Lenuhan also had a post limited for referring to the same stats.
In both cases, on appeal to X, the posts were restored after several hours.
The decision was reversed but it’s clear there are still some bad actors. https://t.co/0tyBwDsIYf

What is going on? Is this a bad algorithm flagging the posts or has some blue haired leftist managed to remain employed at the company?
As we highlighted earlier in the week, a German politician was found guilty of ‘incitement’ by a district court and fined $6000 after she posted a link to the same government statistics on crimes committed by migrants, specifically rape, and asked why they are so disproportionately high.
X owner Elon Musk reacted to the incident, asking “Are you saying the fine was for repeating accurate government statistics? Was there anything inaccurate in what she said?”
Given this, it is odd that posts to the same stats were limited on X, albeit for a short time.
The statistics from the German Interior Ministry, released last month, show that the number of foreign suspects rocketed up to around 923,000 in 2023, correlating to a whopping 18 percent increase in just one year.
The data further shows that 41 percent of all crime suspects in Germany are foreigners, despite only representing 15 percent of the total population.
Overall there has been a massive 14.5% increase in the number of non-German suspects of violent crime.
The report notes that there has been a 5.5% increase in crime and an 8.6% rise in violent crime in 2023, which is now at a 15 year high.
Opposition parties on the right, including AfD, have argued that the data shows the urgent need for a cap on immigration, and have argued that such ‘integration’ policies are a key component of the coalition government’s race to naturalize millions of foreigners, thereby masking the truth of who is behind the crime surge.
Indeed, the stats don’t even provide the full shocking picture of what is happening because many of the “German” suspects are really foreigners who have obtained German citizenship, or they are Second or third generation migrants.
Yet the left wing government is adamant that the real ‘extremist’ threat in Germany are conservative Germans:
After sustained mass migration to the country and the explosion in crime, Germans are now expressing widespread opposition.
