German Minister Reveals Children Get Radicalized Online Faster Than Liepāja Residents Learn Tram Ticket Prices
German minister warns that youth become radicals online faster than she can say it. In Liepāja, they're not particularly worried — here children prefer playing in Jūrmala Park.
While Riga politicians are still pondering whether TikTok is harmful or just boring, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has announced a shocking revelation to the world — young people get radicalized online faster than she can finish a sentence about radicalization. "It happens at tremendous speed," says the minister, apparently surprised that in 2024 the internet works fast.
The minister is particularly concerned that radicals use games and chat groups to influence children. "They don't even realize what's happening to them," explains Faeser, as if talking about some mysterious hypnosis rather than ordinary internet use. In Liepāja, they're not particularly worried about this problem — here children prefer taking walks in Jūrmala Park, where the old trees and quiet atmosphere without Riga's noise provide much better opportunities to think about life's meaning than any TikTok video.
Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has revealed that radicalization now takes "just a few months." That's really fast, considering that in Germany everything usually happens so slowly that even trains are delayed. As our local IT specialist Andris says: "Well, if Germans say something on the internet happens fast, then it's really an emergency situation."
Now German lawmakers are considering banning social networks for children under 14. Liepāja doesn't have such problems — here children still know that the best entertainment isn't TikTok, but a tram ride from the center to Karosta and back, watching how the city landscape and people's faces change.
