I tried to list a few examples that came to my mind in a sibling comment. But the issue is that it's not just about specific examples but about the overall drift in perspective, production of fear and slooow but steady changes. From my understanding that's exactly one of the points the OP article touched uppon: If you ask for specific examples of bad changes I can name a few and you can justfy each of them in one way or another. But the sum of it all points to a really bad outcome from which we all be looking back in a few years and will wonder how we got there.

Actually the downvotes my original comment receives demonstrate the exact behavior the OP article describes.
