I haven't looked deeply into this one, but it sounds very vague / broad. Actual child porn is treated as it is due to the depiction of an actual person (another way of putting it is that it involves actual abuse).

In related matters, Bluesky is accused of censoring images of these.

So many books to read.

Facebook probably hasn't implemented the new policy changes yet, they said they were going to do it over weeks.

When it comes to free expression, Austria is probably better than Germany. Both seem to have some kind of hate speech law.

As one example, Germany had that thing going on with the media authorities where they prevented people from accessing sexual content.

When it comes to hate speech laws, there are countries with a high standard of free expression which also have an anti hate speech law (of some sort).

Someone might be wary of setting a dangerous precedent though.

Politics based on dehumanizing someone is problematic.
