    The holocaust was legal, hiding Jews to keep them alive was illegal.

    Following the law does not guarantee you’re doing the right thing.

      The word antisemitism has been thrown around so much that it’s lost all meaning, but what you just said, comparing the holocaust to age indication on the internet, is holocaust minimization which is near universally agreed to be antisemitic.

        Its not that he said age verification is holocaust. He made the valid point, that no one should mindlessly following laws.

        Also, there is a difference between drawing a comparison and equating events, or downplaying the suffering of the Holocaust.

        Edit: You definitely can make a comparison, that downplays the holocaust. That would be antisemitic. But that’s not what OP did.

        At the rate things have been going, we are certainly headed that way and we get there by accepting this kind unnecessary privacy violations.
