Facebook is actively blocking German authors who post "politically incorrect" content regarding the migrant crisis, following a request from Angela Merkel to Mark Zuckerberg. In response to the New Year's Eve attacks in Cologne, Germany has modernized its rape laws to a "no means no" standard. Previously, victims had to prove they physically fought back for a conviction to occur.

Nigel Farage, speaking on LBC, criticized the Mayor of Cologne for suggesting a "code of conduct" for German women rather than addressing the perpetrators of the New Year's Eve assaults. Farage also highlighted the situation in Malmö, Sweden, which he labeled the "rape capital of Europe." He noted that Swedish law now restricts media from identifying the ethnicity of criminals, which he views as a breakdown of law and order.

### Cologne New Year's Eve Sexual Assaults and Media Silence

Mass sexual assaults and robberies occurred in Cologne, Germany, on New Year's Eve, with nearly 100 complaints filed by women. Initial reports were slow to identify the perpetrators as migrants or refugees to avoid "blanket suspicion." The Mayor of Cologne faced backlash for suggesting women should adopt a "code of conduct" and keep at a distance from strangers to avoid being attacked.

A Massachusetts man was detained by the TSA after his "Bleu de Chanel" cologne triggered an alarm for explosive chemicals. In schools, the "Class Dojo" app is being used to track second-graders' behavior in real-time, allowing parents to monitor "positive" and "negative" points. The hosts characterize this as an early-life introduction to the "slave device" and a form of psychological surveillance.
