Yes and then again no - Given the Germans history (Nazi's then decades of the Stasi) you can understand why some of them feel that way.
Wouldn't you expect the opposite? This law basically read like what the Nazi's would implement to "legitimately" silence opposition.
Even then, i could see how the stasi police state was an act of violence against individual citizens (which i doubt is an argument you should take for granted), but even granting that- this chat control isnt it. You can't call everything you dislike or everything that is wrong nazi, stasi, or an act of violence.
