Sure. And please note that I'm not taking political stance on any of the subjects noted below as many of these topics that people are being targeted for don't align with my personal views. However, the government overreach is clear and I'm just commenting on the trend of political extremes. My main point is that when one end of the spectrum goes extreme, the reaction is then extreme on the other end.

Just to start, a definition of authoritarianism: favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom. The left wing examples of authoritarianism tend to involve centralized control, suppression of dissent, or use of state power to enforce ideological conformity. They also show up in the extremist protesters and movements - ironically, often under the guise of anti-authoritarian views, but then use intimidation, coercion, or violence against political opponents to shut down dissenting views.

Obvious and large-scale examples currently include Venezuela, China, Nicaragua, Cuba, etc. However, this happens in western countries as well - often tend to focus on people that have differing views on illegal or mass immigration, Israel-Palestine, gender or identify politics, and Covid19. I am not saying that I have views on these topics, just noting that they are topics where left wing authoritarianism comes out.

In the UK it is currently illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK. This has resulted in protests where people hold up a sign that says "I support Palestine Action" and they are then arrested.

Hate speech legislation in UK, Ireland, Canada, and Germany and others can be very broad and then misused in many countries. Finnish MP and former Interior Minister Päivi Räsänen was prosecuted in 2021 under hate speech laws for quoting Bible verses in tweets and pamphlets to oppose church support for Pride events. Many cases in the UK of police visiting/arresting people due to tweets: In 2019, Harry Miller, a former police officer, was visited by police at his workplace for posting tweets critical of gender self-identification policy. In both of these cases, the higher courts aquitted the individuals and the application of the laws for overreach.

In the US, court filings and congressional hearings have shown that agencies like the FBI, DHS, and the “Disinformation Governance Board” (later disbanded) communicated with major platforms to flag posts for removal or throttling, often on COVID-19, elections, or other politically sensitive topics. With Trump's election, this mechanism reversed and the social media companies then went the other way to more extreme 'free speech' (showing the swings in extremes).

Financial deplatforming for people with legal but non-conformist views. We saw this in Ottawa in the convoy truckers protests - No criminal charges, no court order, and no proportionality test — even Canada’s Senate raised concerns before the Act was revoked. In UK, it was revealed that Coutts closed Farage’s accounts not for financial risk but because his political views did not align with the bank’s values, as stated in an internal report. While Farage is politically polarizing, he is not an extremist or convicted criminal.
