Be aware that, in Germany, Twitter censors #NoVisasForRussians and content urging refusal of providing service to citizens of the Russian terrorist state. Russian information warriors are experts at twisting German law and Germans are, as a result, in the dark about Russia’s war.
My German followers will have to use a VPN to see my content censored by Twitter “in accordance with German law.” Germans need to be aware of the extent to which the Russian terrorist state has profoundly shaped the information space they inhabit.

If you are in Germany there probably will be no result. People who reside elsewhere will see one result.
Many Germans don't realize how Russians limit the information space they inhabit.
What Germans don't see is news about the war Russian information warfare operatives persuaded Twitter contravenes German law related to hate speech or unconstitutional content, §§ 86, 86a 130 StGB.
"Twitter is now withholding the reported content in Germany."
Wake up, Germans. People in other democratic societies have access to information about Russia's war that you do not.
