Overview

• The Commission for Youth Media Protection (KJM) determined that the AfD Brandenburg's campaign video contains content deemed unsuitable for children under 16.
• The video, released during the 2024 state election campaign, was criticized for portraying individuals with dark skin in threatening scenarios, reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
• The AfD must either delete the video from social media platforms or implement technical restrictions to prevent access by minors.

• The KJM clarified that the decision is based on youth protection laws and does not constitute censorship, emphasizing that the video is not banned but restricted by age appropriateness.
