en	The raid has been strongly criticized by [German media](http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/hausdurchsuchungen-bei-netzaktivisten-chaos-computer-club-kritisiert-polizeivorgehen-a-1216463.html) and [digital rights activists](https://netzpolitik.org/2018/zwiebelfreunde-durchsuchungen-wenn-zeugen-wie-straftaeter-behandelt-werden/) as being [disproportionate](https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2018/hausdurchsuchungen-bei-vereinsvorstanden-der-zwiebelfreunde-und-im-openlab-augsburg).
