Isn’t in interesting to read that the Trump administration, via Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has just announced visa bans on foreign officials censoring American social media platforms. This visa ban targets authoritarian regimes like China and European nations accused of stifling dissent under the guise of democracy.
In the past few months, several US based platforms have pulled out of the UK, blaming censorship. Here is US based GAB spelling out what is happening.
It’s not just GAB, it’s also Bitchute which, in a twist, is based in the UK but which is no longer available to UK users.
The UK Government is using OFCOM as the global regulator of free speech. If the US imposes Visa Bans on foreign officials stepping down on Free Speech, the UK should be top of the list.

It would be hilarious if this rule — rightfully — meant that two tier queer couldn’t travel to the US. I’m not surprised that Labour are now tasking the establishment’s faithful censorship agent, the Off-Communists, to police dissent on the internet.
Twisted logic.
Bans liberate.
Men are women.
Lies are truth.
Slavery is freedom.
