German has one of the most elaborate spying-on-its-own-citizens dragnet around the world. This sting operations are just to bully/frighten anyone who dares not to bow their heads.
Tails is a Debian Live CD that automatically proxies everything through Tor. AfD is a group that is essentially the Nazi Party 2.0. The German police raided the host of Torservers.net in an effort to hunt down people protesting against AfD, and it seems to have been conducted as some sort of scare tactic (which would be unfortunate if Germany is actually helping a modern Nazi party).

Imo stating "AfD is Nazi party 2.0" is very oversimplified. I agree there are some Nazi supporters there but most are people with anti illegal immigration views which doesn't mean they are Nazis.
So, in an effort to fight off/investigate a “far right” political organization (it doesn’t matter whether they are or aren’t), the police are using some scary tactics that one might expect from an extreme political party in power. Great work there. Way to be the change you want to see in the world.
All the authorities need to do is make some tenuous connection to "alt right", "white nationalism" or "Russia" and outlets like The Atlantic will give them a golf-clap editorial, driving home the point that free speech is hate speech.

You mixed it up, the bavarian police isn't fighting off/investigating AfD. Zwiebelfreunde (Friends of Onion) forwarded donations (!) from Germany into the US based RiseUp. Latter hosts a website calling for protests against the far right AfD.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't you know modern corporate globalism speak yet? If you think your nation should have borders = nazi.
> They are not accused of a crime but considered to be witnesses in a case... Wow, so the witnesses are treated like criminals now.
I disagree with your comparison to criminals. Gathering evidence for a case can be done at any place relevant to a case. It is sad to see that they confiscated materials owned by a witness, but within the bounds of "reason": they are a related party in said case. Please note: I do still, from what I read here, find this excessive use of power. A normal warrant with a request for data could very well have been enough,…

> They are hunting down people protesting AfD
They are trying to stop the AfD party convention, the blog describes which Autobahns members are likely to take and threatening Hotels if they allow AfD-Members. This kind of stuff had happened at every prior party convention of the AfD. The city actually organized a peaceful protest.
> They are the new Nazi Party
Some of their leaders have trivialized Nazi Crimes in the past.
