The correct answer is:
can express my opinion in internet.
meine Meinung im Internet äußern kann.
Independent study resource, not a BAMF website. Translations are study aids; the exam is in German.
Quick explanation
An opinion may generally also be expressed online.
Why is this correct?
Freedom of expression applies regardless of the medium, while illegal content and violations of others’ rights remain restricted.
Background
Freedom of expression (Article 5 of the Basic Law) means: I may freely say, write and share my opinion – on the street, in the newspaper and also online, for example on social media or in a blog. I may also criticise the government. But freedom of expression has limits: the law protects other people’s honour and bans certain symbols and hate speech.
Why are the other answers wrong?
Insulting passers-by is an insult under criminal law and can be punished. Publicly displaying symbols of unconstitutional or banned organisations – such as Nazi symbols or symbols of Hamas and the “Islamic State” – is forbidden. And an opinion that contradicts the government is explicitly allowed.
Memory tip
Online – yes. Insults and banned symbols – no.
