Here's a link to the article: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/germany-decriminalizes-child-porn/

Title is slightly misleading, as rather than "decriminalize" it, they just lowered the minimum sentence so it could qualify as a misdemeanor. Note that the maximum sentence was not changed. Also note that this decision is simply a reversal of a law that went into effect in 2021 which had increased the minimum sentence to felony status. Supposedly, the reason this law is now being reversed is because possession of child porn is something that can "accidentally" happen to parents, teachers, etc., when handling children's devices, and courts were frustrated that, as a felony, it was difficult to get the charges dropped in these situations. I don't know if I buy that explanation, but there you go.
