In Germany, we have the Clearingstelle Urheberrecht im Internet (CUII) - literally 'Copyright Clearinghouse for the Internet', a private organization that decides what websites to block, corporate interests rewriting our free internet. No judges, no transparency, just a bunch of ISPs and major copyright holders deciding what your eyes can see.

This is worse than whatever the UK is doing IMO.

Germany's been doing fucked up stuff for a while. People have literally had the police visit and gotten citations for what they said online (for example calling a politician a "penis" on social media.) It's fucked.

UK also arrests people for online comments

Do they? When did this happen? I know they arrest people for "Plasticine Action" T-shirts.
