I see no direct comparison between TWC and Hitler as is necessary to invoke Godwin's Law.

I do see a comparison between TWC's increasing censorship and the mindset of "I don't care because it doesn't effect me yet".

Well, the Wikipedia article I linked to says "usenet" conversations, so if you want to be technical it doesn't apply to a web forum conversation ... but assuming it does, the link defines Godwin's law with the phrase "the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." And the original post I responded to quoted: "When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent" which I'm pretty sure qualifies as "a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler."

EDIT: quoted response for clarity
