A 50-year-old Zurich man has been given a suspended fine for defamation and slander after he compared Social Democrat parliamentarian Tamara Funicello to Adolf Hitler on Facebook.
He was given a suspended fine of CHF3,750 ($4,370) and ordered to pay CHF800 in legal costs.
The offence occurred last September, the day after a popular vote in which Swiss citizens approved raising the legal retirement age for women from 64 to 65.
Imagine how much money the US government could make doing that. In the US, everyone compares everyone they don’t like to Hitler.
“it’s like printing money”

Same in germany. A fine for this comment is absolutely asinine because comments like this are common.
