Does that say Camus had his phone seized? He was denied being allowed to come and speak, not to visit as a journalist, which also strikes me a fairly different case (whatever you think of his positions, or whether they should be debated or silenced). It seems unlikely to me that a journalist who'd written flattering things about the AFD would be treated so badly trying to visit Germany?

Do cases have to be exactly the same to draw parallels? > It seems unlikely to me that a journalist who'd written flattering things about the AFD would be treated so badly trying to visit Germany? Germany is a bad example, as they're deporting and planning to even revoke citizenship based on speech: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/14/germany-orders-deportation-of-pro-palestine-activists-what-you-should-know https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/14/germany-orders-depo... https://theintercept.com/2025/03/31/germany-gaza-protesters-deport/ https://theintercept.com/2025/03/31/germany-gaza-protesters-... https://www.dw.com/en/germany-could-withdraw-citizenship-due-to-antisemitism/a-72104457 https://www.dw.com/en/germany-could-withdraw-citizenship-due...
