I’m only surprised it took them so long to start this
Well Imran is an idiot through and through but that is beyond the pale.
There’s a certain irony in sanctioning individuals for their role in perceived censorship. The Trump administration’s idea of free speech is pathetic.
Sanctioning people who say things they don’t agree with in the name of free speech. The irony.
The US is definitely heading down the Authoritarian fascist road. I just hope that they can reverse the course.
Is this the infamous cancel culture that I was warned about?
They’ve also started placing visa sanctions on former EU officials that oversaw EU laws on tech companies

The US is a hostile nation, we need to start acting like they are.
>*WE’VE SANCTIONED: Clare Melford. She leads Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a UK-based organization that monitors websites for “hate speech” and “disinformation”. If you question Canadian blood libels about residential schools, you’re engaging in “hate speech” according to Melford and GDI. This NGO used* u/StateDept *taxpayer money to exhort censorship and blacklisting of American speech and press. They also joined the deleterious EU Code of Practice on Disinformation.*
The mass grave hoax she perpetuated led to real-life harm, including tens of churches being torched. “Anit-hate speech campaigner” my ass.
> anti-hate speech campaigners
Lol. They’re wannabe censors.
Somehow this will fly over the heads of anyone criticising the UK for “censorship” because we jail people for inciting hate.
Despite our decades long media exposure, if you ever needed proof that America is **not** the good guys, and you missed the war against terror and other evidence, this should confirm it for you.
For a country that likes to tout free speech… I’m sure you can fill in the rest
Do they realise that being against anti-hate speech means that they are pro-hate speech? Who am I kidding, of course they do, they’ve been enabled to be this way.
