    Germany bans certain symbols, including the Nazi swastika, the Communist hammer and sickle, and the Hamas flag.

    But it does not otherwise ban support of those organizations/ideologies.

        Yes, the organizations themselves are banned.

        Expressing support for them is not banned, unless accompanied by those symbols.

          Admittedly, it is not enforced often enough and hard enough, but in general this falls under criminal organisations law.

          German Criminal Code §129

          Whoever supports such an organisation or recruits members or supporters for such an organisation incurs a penalty of imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or a fine.

          We’re talking about twitter as a company and platform, not twitter users.
