They just took down the post too, which had no mentions of nazis, so I think they just don’t want this subject brought up, just like ml doesn’t want Chinese human rights violations brought up.

violently protesting, threatening taff and fucking up university property is not okay. That’s stuff that lands you in prison.

Again they didn’t do any of that stuff, at worse if the accusations are true they only tried to stop people who did that from getting arrested. How many people are getting deported for just resisting arrest?

Your comment:

for participating in violently occupying a university building, while threatening the staff with axes and metal

Makes it seem like they occupied the building and made violent threats, I was adding clarification that there is no evidence they did either.

If the accusations turn out to be true that doesn’t mean that they weren’t deported for protesting, that just means they found a legal excuse to do so. If a cop arrests a black guy wearing a black lives matter shirt for jaywalking, even if the guy was actually jaywalking that doesn’t mean the cop who arrested them wasnt racist.

We’re talking about motive here which is very hard to prove one way or the other. One thing you can look at though is whether the case looks to be getting special attention by the prosecutors when compared to similar cases. This looks to be the case as it seems this is the first time they’ve done this expedited deportation without charges for an EU citizen.

Then charge them with conspiracy to commit vandalism or whatever. They have so far shown no evidence that they entered the building, much less did any vandalism or threats, and no charges have been made.

If you allow people to be deported without due process then you’ve given the power of arbitrary deportation of anyone legally in the country to the state. Look at how this is going in the US, we sent someone to a Salvadoran gulag over a tattoo and now we can’t even get them back home.

Do you really want to set this precedent and give that power to the afd if/when they gain power?

They have not been charged with anything related to that protest, and there is no evidence they even entered the building, much less threatened anyone.

This is lemmy, people hate China, America and commercial social media. Not a big fan of any of those three either so yeah, fuck em. Would be better if we banned all commercial social media but I’m not gonna cry over only some of them getting banned.

Implying that the Democrats are now “the party of big business” is arguably true (and very boring)

While true in some scenarios, in anti-trust Lina khan’s ftc has done significantly more than trump ever did. Biden keeping her over the protest of countless business execs and daily articles in the wall street journal on how she’s ruining America shows some commitment to prosecuting big tech.

Meanwhile, trump’s anti-trust moves were mostly based off petty issues he had with the ceos or the platforms having a “liberal bias”. Now that every big tech ceo has fallen in line and given him $1 million for his inauguration I doubt we’ll see much movement on that front.
