One definition of authoritarian is "enforcing strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom".

It would seem to me that the recent spate of sanctioning individuals - e.g. for 'disseminating misinformation' without a legal definition of what that actually is would be an example of authoritarianism. A direct attack on freedom of speech and thought.
