Report Your Family For Wrong Think, Says German Government Initiative

Germany's Interior Ministry and Family Affairs Ministry launch "Advice Compass on Conspiracy Thinking" to monitor and report citizens' beliefs.

Germany's Interior Ministry, headed by Nancy Faeser - known for banning media outlets - and the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women, and Youth have launched a project dubbed, "Advice Compass on Conspiracy Thinking."

The center is there to provide advice to anyone who "suspect their friends or family members have fallen victim to conspiracy theories," according to the Interior Ministry.

You can't make this up, and Germany's current authorities are no pioneers here. In one form or another, the "spying starts at home" policy - trying to get people to make the state's population surveillance job easier - has existed before.

But, worryingly, that was/is under some of the most repressive regimes in recent history.
