Thanks, now at least I know what you refers to and I can reply to that.

I find your arguments here to be quite hypocritical considering the amount of times you've been all in for curtailing freedoms of anyone that doesn't fit into certain religious or ethnic categories. or that time you said you were afraid of women wearing a burqa even if they chose to wear it?
I don't recall curtailing religius/ethnic freedoms, other than Burka Ban discussion. There I was describing it as a public safety measure decided by Swiss in referendum.
However, you're correct that would be against Freedom of Speech, a form of censorship and I think you put this argument back then.
Lets be honest - in the end you want to censor/free different things than I, but I'm drifting towards Freedom of Speech, so I'm more likely to stop supporting Burka ban, than you to stop supporting censorship.

Remember that time you called police beating and kidnapping protestors "normal police work"?
I specifically said this is the same police procedure across the world, both Europe and Asian and I remember specifically mention that it's hard to find police which didn't do it (I think I put UK police as an "anomaly" example).
I never said it was "good" or "righteous" (especcially all the bad stuff I saw from "yellow vest protest")

or that time you said BLM was stupid?
I never said BLM has no right to protest specifically. What I said was OPINION that it's stupid to mass gather during COVID outbreak.

Or that time you said there was "nothing to protest about" when the cop shot Jacob Blake 7 times point blank in the back?
Jacob Blake is great case study to get back especially after recent case with the girl who tried to stab other girl and policeman had like 0.5s to react - people say "why he didn't tazed her"? Well, jacob Blake was tazed and he didn't even slowed down.
I recall I said specifically that protesting the whole case was stupid as police was left with no option, other than possibly physically jumping several guys on him to stop him...which is now also questionable, becasue he could stop breath, am I right?
So what else? should they taze him till his hearth shut-down? Let him drive away?
Overall my opinion that something is stupid to be protested doesn't equal to denying the right to protest - that's what Freedom of Speech is about.

Is it so hard to see that it's nothing more than privatization of censorship?
It is nothing of the sort. If the whole premise of what you say is predicated on you redefining the terms involved to means something different to what everyone else understands by them, there is nothing to discuss.
It's rich to hear about term re-definition, when other side redefine everything all the time - again that "OK sign" - no one defined it as a hate symbol just a few years ago, now it has half of the "negative connotation" definition on wikipedia:
