Anonymous Germany Facebook account with millions of followers.

Einzelfallmap social media accounts that tracked refugee crimes.

Some of their content was debatable, but they were nowhere near the level of indymedia.

Then they put the identitarian movement on a watch list, who have done very little so far in terms of actual crime.

... which regularly posted conspiracy theories, fake news and distributed hate speech against migrants.

...ONLY "refugee" crimes, without a comparison to German crimes this is nothing more than inciting hate.

It was Twitter and Facebook that shot them down. Private entities, not the government - that's a difference.

One IB guy in Berlin nearly ran over a cop with a car. The IB tried obstructing of SAR NGOs, and they were filmed while trying to pirate a speedboat of Open Arms NGO boat. IB activists have committed many crimes, ranging from simple vandalism over shooting with (fake) guns (Martin Sellner in Austria) to attempted murder (the guy with the truck and the police officer).

Thanks for proving my point. None of that is anywhere close to the crimes committed by indymedia users.

None of these were shut down by the government.

Yeah, the government now uses agencies for that. Makes it easier to shift the blame if something goes wrong.
