Netiquette
We ask everyone to remember that real people are communicating with each other here. To ensure a constructive exchange on our social media channels, the community agrees on the following common values and rules of conduct:
- We respect our fellow human beings. We comment responsibly. We are constructive and polite.
- We only comment on the current post topic.
- Questions and ideas are welcome.
- Differences of opinion are part of life. We argue on a factual level and don't get personal. We criticize opinions and actions, not people.
- Before commenting/tweeting, we put ourselves in the other person's shoes. We check whether we would also say the sentence to a person's face in a conversation.
- If we are provoked or treated unfairly, the above-mentioned contacts are the people to contact.
- We stick to verifiable facts and are careful with assumptions, especially accusations.
- We stand up for the Basic Law and an open, democratic society.
- We express ourselves clearly and comprehensibly. Irony and sarcasm can easily be misunderstood if you cannot see/hear the other person.
- We accept that "Du" has become the common form of address in the German-speaking network and do not get annoyed if we are not addressed as "Du".
The internet is not a legal vacuum!
We do not tolerate
- insults, abusive language and degrading statements,
- unlawful content, e.g. incitement or instruction to commit crimes; statements that are harmful to minors; statements that violate personal rights or content that violates the copyrights or data protection rights of third parties,
- inflammatory, racist, obscene, discriminatory or pornographic content,
- misleading claims and untrue statements of fact,
- content that is linked to viruses, Trojans or harmful websites or is otherwise likely to impair the use of the site or the user's IT system,
- Spam / copy&paste of your own comments,
- contributions with personal data, commercial contributions and third-party advertising,
- Links are generally not permitted and will be hidden or deleted by us. This is to prevent users from being redirected to fraudulent sites, e.g. through subsequent changes to stored websites.
As the police, we stand for law and order. You can and may expect the same from us on the Internet! In the case of comments that violate the law, we initiate appropriate proceedings, hide the comments and block the user. If you notice any possible legal violations on our pages, please inform us.
Users whose comments have been hidden or deleted or whose account has been blocked can informally enquire about the reason for the measure. To do so, please send an email to poststelle.euskirchen [at] polizei.nrw.de. In addition, the terms of use of the respective social network and our privacy policy apply.
We hope you enjoy the exchange of opinions!

What Facebook learns:
It is not known exactly what data Facebook stores in detail and how the company uses this data. What is certain is that Facebook not only stores data that is entered directly by users, but also records the actions of Facebook users - presumably without gaps.
Facebook also learns
- the most important data of the computer system from which a user logs into the network - including IP address, processor type and browser version including plug-ins and
- every visit to websites (widget data) on which a "Like" button is installed.
The IP address is also transmitted. - If the visitor to the third-party site is a Facebook user and has already logged in to Facebook from the same computer, Facebook can also determine their identity.
This enables Facebook to examine the preferences, inclinations and contacts of its users very precisely and beyond Facebook usage.
