(12,712 posts)The use of the word crackdown varies by context. Your boss could "crackdown" on Internet use at work, etc.
However, the context here is government action and I think this definition applies and is concerning:
crackdown
(krækdaʊn )
Word forms: plural crackdowns
countable noun
A crackdown is strong official action that is taken to punish people who break laws.
...anti-government unrest that ended with the violent army crackdown.
Synonyms: clampdown, crushing, repression, suppression
resorting to strict or stricter measures of discipline or punishment

Pay strict attention to the terminology that this MisAdminstration uses. I also don't think we should shrug things off and assume anything. That mistake was made with Hitler, many times and in many ways.
