In Germany, it's "you can't say that", which is I think what he's talking about. Germany is probably the most extreme in the Western world in that regard - they have e.g. a court that can ban political parties if their platform is "counter to the free democratic basic order". Not to mention minor censorship, like excising swastikas and mentions of Hitler (ironically, a recent example was with a game about how Nazis are bad and you should fight them).
