Not what OP said over on the (now deleted) Reddit post:
So the ad was supposed to play in that black box and this is a bug?
I had Bob’s Burgers on in the background but was playing a game with my kid. The silence caught my attention, but not at first. At first I assumed it was a, “choose your commercial” thing.
After some more time I thought maybe it was asking if I was still watching, that’s when I looked up to see this
I waited, nothing. I made a verbal comment and the whole family started looking. We waited, nothing.
I grabbed my phone, snapped the pic, made the post (but didn’t actually post it), and it was still sitting there.
I guessed an answer, got it right, and the show came back
Then I hit “post” to actually make the post.
Some people say it went away on its own. Others say, like me, they had to answer, and others said even after answering it didn’t go away
I’ve had Bob’s Burgers on all morning and I’ve yet to see this again
Potentially, which I guess might have been the entire point. The ZPS is no stranger to provoking law suites, and since Musk did this in the US this might be their attempt at baiting the German jurisdiction to take a stance on it.
That said the article you linked says the police talks about having an “Anfangsverdacht” (initial suspicion), which basically means “we have heard about it and will look into it”.
