Censorship Backfires Again

Can the UK Really Do This to Tommy Robinson?

To the best of his knowledge, Tim was given a community guidelines strike for promoting a product that contained the cannabinoid CBD.

 

They are getting really bold with the stifling of free speech, especially in the UK which never had a free speech guarantee. Canada lies somewhere in between, but as Peterson has revealed we're moving into dangerous waters.

Don't we actually enjoy way, way more free speech than we ever did in 1988 or 1998?  Could Tim be able to do what he is doing now in 1988 from his own home?  On the large scale of decades, Tim, you, and I are much more unhindered in our speech than in decades past.

The free speech we have is to chatter amongst each other within the bounds of the censorship of the platforms we're chatting on. It's more speech, not actually free.

Our communication is all monitored and investigative journalists can't even use email or phones any more when doing certain things within the 5-eyes nations.

It's like a wild-west period of speech. But within Westworld.

The English court is ordering no reporting of these muslim men that gang rape and groom children. 

 

Good on him for showing up and bringing light to how absurd that is.

 

He's in jail for a year now, I believe. They threw him in all quick style.

This shithead was out on parole for a former conviction hence he was put away so quickly.

He was not "reporting" on shit. Right wing propaganda is still not journalism.

Like it or not: People are still innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, regardless of their ethnicity.

This is CRAZY. It is so weird to see the rapid evolution of an actual police state in my lifetime.

It makes sense if you care about justice over entertainment.

You would love ResistanceHole, which is an offshoot of ClickHole.
