In an interview with the Telegraph, Boll claimed that the film was denied a certificate by Germany’s ratings board, the FSK (Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft), saying that “it was a deliberate censorship decision”

That’s untrue, without certification the film is neither censored nor banned but only allowed for adults.

Additionally the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons could review the film and place it on the index of restricted media—which still wouldn't constitute censorship, as adults would still be permitted to watch it; it simply could not be openly advertised or sold.

It could also be confiscated; that is the point at which one could speak of censorship.

Due to the lack of proper age verification, Musk’s release of the film on Twitter violates German laws on the protection of minors.

Wow, if you think that's the worst thing posted on twitter, I have ten bridges to sell you.

Agreed, Twitter should be shut down and Musk should be in prison.

Where it did I say it’s the worst thing posted on Twitter?

It just another small evidence of Musk‘s agenda

... oh, wow. It's a Uwe Boll film! You'd think Musk could find someone better than the guy who is generally reputed as the world's worst director to do his propaganda for him.

Boll was, of course, himself a migrant for many years. As is Musk, for that matter.
