Plenty of other countries, especially western european ones, have since ~2015 introduced legislation (which later was either not/rarely enforced or walked back upon, though not removed) in which a person is presumed guilty until proven innocent for all kinds of 'hate speech', especially online.

I'm not sure if you're trolling by calling such shifts in society merely conspiracy theories. If it happened like 1-10 times, sure. But that's not the case, and since then euroskepticism was on the rise, only until ~2020 when covid came and suddenly everybody fell in line and forget we even had other (bigger) problems in our society than merely a flu-tier virus.

Note: I have not read the entirety of the thread as per i don't really care, only saw the part of a presumed legal document where you can be detained upon mere suspicions of wrongthought/wrongsay, which reminded me of similar legislation that passed in my country (& not only).
