German society has weaker “Free Speech” but stronger “Right to Dignity” than USA. In fact, USA doesn’t have “right to dignity”.
This means that, for example, its illegal to insult someone in public. Because that’s an attack on their dignity. This causes issues for negative reviews (which is more easily removed in Germany than USA). But Germans are closer to sanity when it comes to limits of free speech for sure.

There’s no right to free speech in Germany either. At least not in the sense that USA has.
