The restriction of VPNs, which are one of the ways you can access the world wide web even if your government tries to stop you, is the hallmark of authoritarian regimes like China, Russia and Iran. U.K. is now on course to join them. #VPN #Censorship #Authoritarianism #CN #RU #IR #GB

Germany just passed a law that can land regular people in prison for liking, sharing, or commenting on stuff from media outlets banned in Europe. Like Russia Today, for example. Pretty soon it could be Xinhua, or X itself, or American conservative outlets — the pro-MAGA, #FreeSpeech #Censorship #GermanyLaw #DE #RU #US #CN

Ο Ελον Μασκ ξεφτίλισε τον ελεεινό Μερτς και το γερμανικό κράτος!! DIE WELT: Ο Elon Musk ανέβασε ολόκληρη την ταινία «Citizen Vigilante» του σκηνοθέτη Uwe Boll στην πλατφόρμα X (πρώην Twitter). Η ταινία, με πρωταγωνιστή τον Armie Hammer, αφηγείται την ιστορία ενός πρώην στρατιώτη που παίρνει τον νόμο στα χέρια του και εκδικείται εγκληματίες μετανάστες και διεφθαρμένους αξιωματούχους. Στη Γερμανία η ταινία δεν έλαβε έγκριση από το FSK (το γερμανικό συμβούλιο κινηματογραφικής αυτοελέγχου) και ουσιαστικά απαγορεύτηκε για προβολή σε κινηματογράφους και streaming υπηρεσίες, λόγω της προώθησης της αυτοδικίας. Ο Boll χαρακτήρισε την απόφαση λογοκρισία. Ο Musk έκανε την ταινία διαθέσιμη δωρεάν για 48 ώρες, με εκατομμύρια προβολές ήδη. Η κίνηση προκάλεσε έντονες αντιδράσεις στη Γερμανία για θέματα ελευθερίας έκφρασης και λογοκρισίας. #ElonMusk #Censorship #FreedomOfExpression

Thousands of Europeans are on the Russian blacklists, some are increasingly operational. A blacklist only has to be read once. After that it lives inside every official who trims a sentence before Moscow can object. Russia does not silence us. We silence ourselves and call it #Russia #Blacklists #Censorship #EU #RU

Silencing @CNEWS is the only obsession of the government, which reproaches the channel, via @Arcom_fr, for not polishing the presidential boots. This liberticidal regime is supported by "labeled" media that see nothing of the threatened freedom of expression. Read @maxsaada (translated)

For decades, a conservative physician and his socialist neighbour disagreed about almost everything in Finnish politics. They argued, played tennis, shared meals, and remained close friends until the end of their lives. That sounds unremarkable. In the current political climate across the Western world, it feels almost radical. In my new Nordic Ledger column, I write about what has changed — and why the missing ingredient is not better fact-checking, stronger institutions or smarter politicians. It is something the French Revolutionaries understood well enough to carve in stone alongside liberty and equality, but that contemporary democracies have quietly abandoned in practice. The column covers the mechanics of democratic erosion: how political identity replaced political disagreement; how online harassment achieves what censorship cannot; how the war against institutions matters more than any individual lie; and why Brexit was not really about Europe. The underlying argument is simple, though not comforting: democracies are not primarily threatened by their enemies. They are threatened by the habit of treating opponents as enemies. https://open.substack.com/pub/nordicledger/p/the-missing-word-in-democracy?r=mwsn6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

The Indian National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has restored the original image of the ancient Dancing Girl bronze sculpture in a school textbook after backlash over the censorship of its torso, which sparked criticism from historians and educators. #DancingGirl #IndusValley #ArtRestoration

Zestátnění ČT je jen dalším krokem jak dostat ČR pod kontrolu AB (StB). Kvůli tomu jsme v r. 89 nezvonili a nikdy bych nevěřil, že po 36 letech od sametové revoluce se něco takového může znovu dít. Po zhlédnutí poslední tiskovky vlády, musím říci, že to už ani neskrývají. #CzechRepublic #Censorship #FreedomOfSpeech

Heute hat ein Gericht in GB ein Urteil gefällt, das wie ein Paukenschlag durch das Establishment hallt. Tommy Robinson wurde von allen Vorwürfen unter dem Terrorism Act freigesprochen. Der Richter, District Judge Sam Goozee, entschied eindeutig: Es gab keine echten Terror-Verdachtsmomente. Stattdessen wurde Robinson gezielt wegen seiner politischen Ansichten und dessen, wofür er steht, ins Visier genommen. Es ging um Macht, Zensur und die Grundsatzfrage: Darf der britische Staat kritische Stimmen mit Anti-Terror-Gesetzen mundtot machen, nur weil sie sagen, was viele denken? Der Fall wurde zum globalen Symbol, weil Elon Musk die rechtliche Verteidigung maßgeblich unterstützt hat. Dieses Urteil ist ein Weckruf, nicht nur für jeden Briten sondern für jeden Patrioten im Westen: Wenn heute Terror-Vollmachten gegen einen Mann eingesetzt werden, der nur die Realität benennt, dann ist morgen jeder dran – jeder, der sein Land, seine Kultur, seine Frauen und Kinder schützen will. #TommyRobinson #FreeSpeech #ElonMusk #FreeSpeech #TommyRobinson #Censorship

I was labelled 'anti-semitic' by @biscz (Czech Intelligence Agency) and almost kicked from my (academic) job. BIS probably works under CIA/Mossad orders. Czech information space is under strong censorsbip of US/Israeli agents. #Censorship #FreeSpeech #IntelligenceAgency #CZ #US #IL
