Enough with the irresponsible moral equivalence arguments.
There are glaringly material differences between 'Google software scanning your mails to target ads' and 'the police having $2/hour folks reading private chats to arrest you for totally arbitrary reasons'.

But this is the states terrible job at trying to hamper hate speech, mostly with fines. The world is not turning upside down.
If people dissapear off the streets because they say 'we deserve democracy' then we have a problem.
If someone leaks you joking about repeating a historical terrorist attack the chances that the police at least pay you a visit is very high, in the United States and other Western countries.
There's actually a whole array of news articles you can find on your search engine of choice about arrests after people made social media posts about threatening politicians. Which I might add, joke or not is very reasonable.
But in this case, joking about a historical event, inviting a foreign country to invade is way beyond reality, obviously.
So, if you invited the 'Germans to invade America' again, nobody will come knocking except the Twitter Nazis. (Pun intended).
