The German Association of Journalists has been critical of a discussion on the audio app Clubhouse with cabaret artist Idil Baydar and Berlin clan boss Arafat Abou-Chaker.
Freedom of expression also applies to Clubhouse.
"But when journalists are rushed against, conspiracy stories are spread or the Holocaust is even played down, then there is no more fun there, like everywhere else," said DJV boss Frank Überall when asked by the dpa.
"Then it may even be about criminal offenses."
WELT reported that during the several hours of discussion with 5,000 participants on Wednesday evening, journalists were hounded and the prosecution of criminal clans compared with the persecution of Jews.
It was therefore also about reporting on criminal members of large families, mostly of Arab origin.
Idil Baydar regretted what she said on Twitter on Thursday: “In the excited debate I said things that shouldn't stand still.
Of course, the reporting on "Clans" is not comparable to the anti-Semitism of the Nazi era. "She is very sorry" if it sounded like that in the heat of the moment. "

The interior expert of the SPD in the Berlin House of Representatives, Tom Schreiber, tweeted briefly about the clubhouse round: "A case for the public prosecutor".
A spokesman for the Berlin prosecution did not comment on the specific case when asked, but added: "We only deal in exceptional cases with regulars." In the Berlin internal administration it was only said: "We take note of this."
