I was not comparing them, and I think this is dishonest to read my comment that way. I was giving an example of the way democracies around the world restrict free speech in order to defend other rights

This is quite popular in europe and is a result of lesson learned from the nazis

This entire thread started with me saying pretty much the same thing, and using Nazi Germany as an example absolutely implies some form of comparison, especially in a discussion about what specifically Al Jazeera may or may not have done wrong. You can't demand careful language usage from others (in e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40090402 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40088873) and at the same time carelessly throw around stuff yourself.

Well, you can. You're allowed. But at that point I decide to stop engaging. So good day to you.
