Summary/Abstract: The reason for writing this article was the ruling of the German Administrative Court in Magdeburg of 14 December 2020 regarding the assessment of liking as a crime and grounds for expelling a foreigner from the country. The author not only analysed this ruling, but also the provisions of German criminal law indicate whether such behaviour meets the characteristics of a prohibited act and possibly what kind. The subject of the analysis were also regulations concerning the grounds for expelling a foreigner from Germany. In addition, placing a “like” was assessed in the light of Polish substantive criminal law and as a basis for expelling a foreigner from Poland. The author also discussed the latest projects to change German law, which are to enable faster expulsion from Germany.
