So where is the censoring happening, in that hypothetical situation? Why would a German need a VPN, to access a random website that the EUSSR doesn't like? Surely there are 1000s of websites that would trigger statists. Are German's blocked from accessing, like some kindof ISP enforced EU flavor of a great-firewall?

with the digital services act, the european union is already putting massive pressure on all sites and forcing the major platforms in particular, with the exception of twitter, as we have seen, into censorship. of course, germany has its own laws, such as the so-called network enforcement act, which immediately takes unwanted texts etc. to court

German political theorists have no principles. Politics is a game with winners and losers, friends and enemies.
I mostly subscribe to that theory but Germany takes it to an extreme, ad reductio extremum, both right and left but never center
