Saw a guy in a Berlin cafe get his phone taken over a meme...

I was at a spot near Alexanderplatz last month and this guy at the next table was showing his friend a picture. It was just a simple edit of a famous painting with a speech bubble. A cafe worker came over, looked at his screen, and told him he had to delete it or leave. The guy argued for a minute but then just shut his phone off. It wasn't even a political figure, just a joke about art history. Makes you wonder what counts as 'harmful' now. Has anyone else seen something get shut down that just seemed totally harmless?

Honestly, that's just the new normal for public wifi spots now.
