Agnes Wold wrote to Sara Persson that her program "Ask Agnes Wold" would not be heard on state radio. She wrote that in her opinion it was not due to their discussion of transgender issues, but ironically suggested that it was important to prevent too many outspoken individuals from being heard in Sweden, as such things could spread. #Sverige #Yttrandefrihet #Transfrågor (translated)
Daniel Schatz wrote that the Nobel laureate Navi Pillay had already defended censorship over freedom of speech back in September 2012. He referred to her statements about Charlie Hebdo's Muhammad cartoons: Pillay had called the publication "double irresponsible," described the cartoons as malevolent and deliberately provocative, and said that she understood why people wanted to protest strongly. Schatz accused Swedish commentators of now praising this view of extremism and freedom of speech. #yttrandefrihet #censur #politik (translated)
Compound interest wrote that the Center Party and the Green Party should not cooperate. According to the writer, the Center Party's view on individual freedom was in sharp conflict with the Green Party's elitism and support for tyranny and oppression of individuals, which the writer argued aimed to benefit the upper class in the inner city. The writer also believed that Current Affairs should broadcast what the post described and criticized the program for not highlighting the conflict. #politiksverige #yttrandefrihet #demokrati (translated)

Yxhäll also referred to a link with more information about AFA. #SVT #media #yttrandefrihet (translated)
Lt. Torstenson asserted that if SVT required viewers to create an account to access public service, the operation would, according to him, become an organ for controlling viewers.

Sakine wrote that she had often seen the blame shifted when Islamists killed people as revenge for Muhammad cartoons and Quran burnings, and that the victims were then pointed out as guilty.

Daniel Schatz stated that he, like Arvid2, had asked Rönnells Antikvariat to stop selling his books if the information in an article was true about the antiquarian bookshop having repeatedly allowed its stage for events linked to extremist Palestinian activism.

Daniel Schatz wrote that the culture sections of several of Sweden's largest newspapers, according to him, had abandoned their mission to review literature, art, and social phenomena from multiple perspectives. He claimed that they instead often functioned as ideological campaign platforms with a leftist bias, where the same political reflexes recurred regardless of the subject. According to Schatz, cultural journalism that turned into leftist activism risked damaging the newspapers' credibility. #kulturjournalistik #mediekritik #yttrandefrihet (translated)
The operator Bahnhof wrote that the elected representatives in the EU Parliament had stood firm in the negotiations and rejected the Council's compromise on mass surveillance.

I will never be silenced. Media, you can try to character assassinate me, it doesn't matter. I am who I am and stand very firm in my principles. YOU do not own the word. I am a free and independent citizen, your choice of attack says everything about how afraid you are. We are doing your job.

It's absurd how the far right, Islamists, and the far left feed the same anti-Semitism; the same blood lies, conspiracy theories, and tropes. The difference is that everyone rejects it when it comes from the far right, while from the left and Islamists it is mostly seen as a... #antisemitism #yttrandefrihet #politik #SE (translated)
Pilot gruffed just with each other. Not a word about the French riots. All negative aspects of multiculturalism must be silenced, Twitter/X must go. #Multikultur #FranskaUpploppen #Yttrandefrihet (translated)
Oh damn! Today I am a pro-Russian opinion maker. Exciting! Expo reached out a few days ago and wanted to do an interview. Of course, I said no. That's the price for saying no or having a different political affiliation than Expo. Totally fine! 👍🏻 https://t.co/8QL70uRWHP #yttrandefrihet #opinionsbildning #politik (translated)
Nalin Baksi claims that it is common and reasonable to call relatives and friends to tell them how to vote. Have you ever experienced that? Not me.
