Well, the entire thread is still there except my deleted comment reading as follows:

insufficient avenues for engagement beyond voting.
Funny what banning protests does to a country.

So you can see in the thread that I provide sources, such as the New York Times:

The country’s authorities have banned many protests in the name of fighting antisemitism. Critics say such restrictions are discriminatory.

To me, this seems relevant in a thread about how German youth feels that their avenues for democratic participation beyond voting are restricted. Besides, I was not banned for alleged misinformation, but for "derailing".

Even if I was wrong, which I do not believe I was, I hardly see my comment being worthy of a ban in a reasonably moderated community. Discussion, yes.
