As an european guy. Interesting to see things happen from far away. Knowing that crazy country has so much power, makes the near future of the whole world even more scary.

  It's not that much different in the most powerful parts of Europe. For instance Germany does this to people who talk about Palestine. So does the UK. Poland does it to people who talk about gay rights. I don't know the equivalent in Spain, France or Italy.

    Notice that all your examples are cases of speech supporting some out-group being suppressed.
    In the Flock camera case, there's no out-group: the speech being suppressed is supporting the rights of US citizens.
    On a scale of zero to Mussolini, the US is much closer to the right of that scale at this point.
