I think they used "armbands" to signify censorship which is useful for mass mind control. Armband is an insignia that someone wear to remind themselves that they belongs to a group and thus should accept it's ideas, which is kinda of an unification of mind.
If you see the the blog, which is about "secret internet blocklist", then it make sense for someone to create the link, albeit it's a bit far fetched since some blocks are fair legally and morally.

I don't like the sound of this. I think at most, only democratically established laws that reflects people's actual demand should decide which content is banned, not ISPs or interest groups.
No, the yellow badges were a way to single out an ethnicity as a way to enforce racial laws such as confiscating their property, removing them from their jobs, allowing other citizens to boycott their businesses and a large target for harassment in the streets. Finally, to achieve the goal of genocide by having identification said ethnicity
While what you are comparing this to, prevents you from entering a website, presumably until you change your DNS to 8.8.8.8
Apart from the blatant qualitative difference, you can't dismiss the context of the holocaust. The intent of displacement and genocide matters, it's not the marking of people per se.
If you can't help yourself and absolutely must use a Nazi reference, a DNS block list is closer related to a book burning, than the planned, industrialized murder of millions of people. But really, censorship isn't the defining characteristic of the Nazi terror, so unless you explicitly want to invoke the topic of ethnic cleansing, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.
I mean… this is straight out of the authoritarian regime playbook. You control what information your citizen are allowed to access, including information about what information they are allowed to access.
If you can accomplish that, you have succeeded and democracy is dead.

OK, but is it comparable with the practice of yellow badges? "Whoever wears this sign is an enemy of our people"

No, it is not comparable. Not at all.

germany's post-nazi government is democratic yet restricts access to information, especially nazi information. it still isn't authoritarian in my book

Dunno what the 1L commentator was thinking, but I guess you confuse armbands and yellow stars )))
Unless you are talking about the white armbands of the failed Belarusian revolution in 2020. But you wouldn't know about those, would you?
Why? It was both: http://www.geschichteinchronologie.com/judentum-aktenlage/ho...
And the prison uniforms had even coloured triangles that revealed additional "offences" stripping people of their humanity.

but in general he was clearly alluding to the actions of the nazis. I was talking about how it is trivializing what actually happened
Nazi insignia was often worn as an armband. I took the post at the start of this thread to liken ISPs to nazis. I do not find it an apt comparison.
