    I was about to ask the same question just worded much less strongly. Why do you fine them for eating in their room? If they are renting a room from you they should be able to do whatever they want in there as long as they are not destroying stuff or disturbing you/ neighbours



  • Denmark doesn’t have unrestricted free speech. Censorship is against the constitution but hate speech, inciting violence or defamation is illegal and until 2017 blasphemy was illegal. There is some legal basis for punishing speech that is bringing the country into danger or is severely insulting another nation. I am not a lawyer so I don’t know if it’s applicable or if it will hold up in court.

    Note that the government does not want to ban burning books. Just prevent/punish doing it as a provocation against another country.

    I also want to stress that I am not defending the Danish government or the book burners. I just want to bring some needed nuance to the discussion
