Sorry, I think you are being foolish. Intentionally or just incapable of seeing?

Only an equally paranoid idiot would call it "Gestapo tactics."

Whag, you are an intelligent fellow.
1. The fact that a modicum of hyperbole was used does not invalidate the point in any way.
2. The Gestapo did not always use maximum tactics, so the hyperbole was indeed mild.

They're trying to prevent certain people from saying idiotic things like comparing this to the Gestapo, probably.

More Gestapo Tactics
Why is it always the left trying to curtail speech? What are they afraid of?
University officials threatened to call the police and disciplinary action against students who were passing out copies of the U.S. Constitution at Southern Oregon University (SOU) last week.
A group of four students at SOU handed out copies of the Constitution on campus Tuesday while collecting signatures to end the university’s restrictive speech policies, which limit free speech to an area that totals less than one percent of campus. While doing so, the students were approached multiple times by school administrators and campus police who all asked the students to move to a different area of campus...
...School administrators threatened to call the police on the students when the group did not leave. One of the students in attendance told Campus Reform that some administrators resorted to “personal attacks” and threatened disciplinary action.Tags: None
